CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "As" begins a time clause: R, then Q "over the hills," ending on "the", which needs a noun.

  2. S completes "the shepherds" and gives their verb, and "their" needs a noun: P "sheep".

  3. So the order is RQSP: "As the sun set over the hills, the shepherds gathered their sheep and started home."

Worth noting

QRSP opens with "over the hills, the", which has nothing before it to say what happened over the hills.
