CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "Tired as she was" means "although she was tired": P and Q complete it, and Q brings the main clause, "the nurse stayed with".

  2. "With" needs a person: S "the patient until", and "until" needs a clause: R.

  3. So the order is PQSR: "Tired as she was, the nurse stayed with the patient until the doctor arrived."

Worth noting

PSQR puts "the patient until" between "she" and "was", which breaks "tired as she was" in two.
