CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. "So well did" turns the usual order round: P "so well did the", then S "young actor play", the subject and a plain verb.

  2. Play what? T. "So ... that" is a pair, so Q brings "that" and the result's subject, and R its verb.

  3. So the order is PSTQR: "So well did the young actor play the part of the king that the audience rose to its feet at the end."

Worth noting

SPTQR opens with "young actor play", which leaves "so well did the" after its own subject.
