CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P is the subject, and Q gives its verb and "whenever", which needs a clause.
R gives that clause its subject and verb, and "rings" needs an object: T "the bell at". S says where.
So the order is PQRTS: "Our neighbour's dog barks loudly whenever someone rings the bell at the front gate."
Worth noting
QPRTS opens with "barks loudly whenever", a verb with no subject.
