    A RQPS Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B QSPR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C PQSR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    R gives more details about the flute player, which is his name. So, it is the first in the set.   It is followed by Q. It describes what happened one particular day. P describes the result of the fall. So, it is the third sentence. S is the fourth sentence. So, the correct sequence is RQPS.
