CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. R ends on "was", which needs a word to describe him: P "afraid of the dark," then "so" brings the result.

  2. T is the result's subject and verb, "his mother left", and Q says what she left. S says where and when.

  3. So the order is RPTQS: "The little boy was afraid of the dark, so his mother left a small lamp burning in his room at night."

Worth noting

RTPQS puts "his mother left" straight after "was", which cuts "was" off from "afraid".
