Step-by-Step Solution
The complete worked solution.
Every step explained - no skipped algebra.
The student arrives late (S₁), so the watchman doesn’t let him in (Q). He waits outside for some time (R), then decides to go home (S), and finally goes home weeping (P), leading to the conclusion in S₆ that it was a bad day. This order maintains a clear cause → consequence → response → decision → result flow.
