Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - RSPQ
When Oliver opens his eyes, he feels cheerful and happy (R); the crisis of the disease is safely past (S), and he belongs to the world again (P). Three days later he can sit propped up with pillows but is still too weak to walk (Q), which leads directly into Mrs. Bedwin having him carried downstairs. This matches the exact sequence in Charles Dickens's 'Oliver Twist' (Chapter 12): RSPQ.
