He ran so fast (P) that he was able (Q) the escaping thief (R) to overtake. (S)
Answer: B
The correct order is PQSR: He ran so fast that he was able to overtake the escaping thief.
The sentence uses the so ... that pattern of cause and result. He ran so fast (P) states the cause, that he was able (Q) begins the result, and able must be followed by its infinitive, to overtake (S). The object of overtake, the escaping thief (R), comes last.
QRSP and SPQR begin with fragments that cannot open a sentence. SRPQ starts with to overtake the escaping thief and leaves that he was able with nothing to complete it.
