CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "Either ... or" is a pair: S begins it, and R says to whom and brings "or".

  2. Q gives the other choice, and "allowed" needs "to" and a verb: P.

  3. So the order is SRQP: "Either you apologise to your sister now or you will not be allowed to watch television tonight."

Worth noting

RSQP opens with "to your sister now or", which has no verb before it.
