Correct answer: A

R begins the subject and ends on "the", which needs a noun: P "counter", with the verb "told us".
Told what? T begins a "that" clause, S gives its verb, and Q says why and until when.
So the order is RPTSQ: "The man at the counter told us that the museum would be closed for repairs until May."

Worth noting

RPSTQ puts "would be closed" straight after "told us", which leaves "that the museum" with no verb.
