CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. P ends on "was", which needs a word to describe: R "shy at first but".

  2. "But" brings the change: S "soon made friends with", and "with" needs whom: Q.

  3. So the order is PRSQ: "The new student was shy at first but soon made friends with everyone in the class."

Worth noting

PSQR puts "soon made friends with" straight after "was", which leaves "shy at first but" at the end.
