Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
"Should you need" means "if you need": Q, then what: S, closed by a comma.
R is the main clause, a request, and P says which clerk.
So the order is QSRP: "Should you need any help with the forms, please ask the clerk at the first counter."
Worth noting
SQPR opens with "any help with the forms,", a noun phrase with no verb before it.
