CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Q ends on "at", which needs a place: T "the station for two hours".

  2. P gives the reason and ends on "from", which needs a place: R "Delhi", with the verb "had been delayed". S says by what.

  3. So the order is QTPRS: "We waited at the station for two hours because the train from Delhi had been delayed by thick fog."

Worth noting

QPTRS puts "because the train from" straight after "at", which leaves "at" with no place.
