- AQRSP
- BRQPS
- CPSQR
- DSQRP
Explanation
The subordinate clause as soon as the session commenced must come first, giving P followed by S. The main clause then follows with the government was pressed to do something for the poor, giving Q followed by R. This yields as soon as the session commenced, the government was pressed to do something for the poor. The time-clause-first structure confirms PSQR.
