B Correct answer
Explanation

This is correct answer. Q introduces “staircase”. P presents further explanation in the point. S introduces “drainage systems” and R presents details about it. In 6, “They led outside into covered sewers” connects SR with 6. Thus, it becomes clear, QP comes first and SR is the second pair in the sequence.
