Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q is the subject, and S gives its verb with "so much", the start of a "so ... that" pair.
R brings "that" and the result's subject, and P gives its verb.
So the order is QSRP: "The price of onions has gone up so much that many families have stopped buying them."
Worth noting
SQRP opens with "has gone up so much", which has no subject.
