CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. T begins the subject and ends on "in", which needs a place: S "the hall", with the verb "stopped working".

  2. P says when and brings "so", the result: "my father". Q gives him his verb, and R says why.

  3. So the order is TSPQR: "The old clock in the hall stopped working last week, so my father took it to a shop to have it repaired."

Worth noting

TPSQR puts "last week, so my father" straight after "in", which leaves "in" with no place.
