CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. T has the subject and the verb, and R begins "as fast as he", which Q completes with "could", then "to catch", which needs an object.

  2. S gives it, "the bus,", and "but it" brings the contrast. "It" needs a verb: P.

  3. So the order is TRQSP: "The boy ran as fast as he could to catch the bus, but it had already left."

Worth noting

TRSQP puts "the bus, but it" straight after "as fast as he", which breaks "as fast as he could" in two.
