CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "Much as" means "although", and needs a clause: P "much as I would like", then S "to help you," and the main clause's subject.

  2. S ends on "cannot", which needs a verb: Q "lend you money that", and "that" needs its verb: R.

  3. So the order is PSQR: "Much as I would like to help you, I cannot lend you money that belongs to my father."

Worth noting

PQSR puts "lend you money that" straight after "would like", which cuts "like" off from "to help you".
