CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. "Should the power fail" means "if the power fails": P, then T "fail during the exam," closed by a comma.

  2. The result follows: Q "students will be", which needs a past form: R. S says what the time is for.

  3. So the order is PTQRS: "Should the power fail during the exam, students will be given extra time to finish their papers."

Worth noting

TPQRS opens with "fail during the exam,", a verb with no subject.
