Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the connections between the fragments to find the correct order:The subject is "The pith helmets". It must be followed by a verb phrase. Part R ("may have long") contains the modal helper "may have".The phrase "may have long" needs a past participle () to complete it. Part P ("gone, but the blood") starts with "gone", forming "may have long gone".Part Q ("has never dried") finishes the sentence by providing the singular verb phrase for the singular noun "the blood".Combining them gives: "The pith helmets may have long gone, but the blood has never dried."The correct sequence is RPQ.
