Explanation
(S) "events in our childhood" is the subject, (P) "have a great influence" the verb phrase, (R) "on our adult lives" the prepositional phrase, and (Q) "and they often shape our personality" the coordinate clause. No other arrangement keeps the subject before its verb. The sequence S-P-R-Q is option (A).
