CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "Little did the thief realise" means he did not realise at all: Q, then R "realise that the", where "the" needs a noun.

  2. S completes "the house he had broken", and "broken" is finished by "into": P, with the verb "belonged". T says to whom.

  3. So the order is QRSPT: "Little did the thief realise that the house he had broken into belonged to a police officer."

Worth noting

QSRPT puts "house he had broken" straight after "the thief", which leaves "realise that the" with no noun after "the".
