CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "By the time" begins a time clause: P, then R "reached the cinema," and "the", which needs a noun.

  2. S completes "the film" and brings "had already", which needs a past form: Q.

  3. So the order is PRSQ: "By the time we reached the cinema, the film had already started."

Worth noting

PSRQ puts "film had already" straight after "we", which leaves "reached the cinema, the" in the middle with nothing to do.
