CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. "Although" begins a clause: P "although he is", and R completes it, "only fourteen,", then brings the main subject.

  2. Q gives the subject its verb, "can repair", and S says what he repairs.

  3. So the order is PRQS: "Although he is only fourteen, my brother can repair almost any kind of machine."

Worth noting

PQRS puts "can repair" straight after "he is", which leaves "only fourteen, my brother" in the middle.
