CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Q has the subject and the verb. Locks what, and when? S.

  2. P says how often and brings "and", and R adds the second action.

  3. So the order is QSPR: "The watchman locks the gate at ten every night and opens it at six."

Worth noting

SQPR opens with "the gate at ten", which has no verb before it.
