CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

S opens: it names the bird and its "strange habit". R describes the habit with "it".
Q says what happens at the nest, and P explains why the habit works: "each helps the other".
So the order is SRQP.

Worth noting

RSPQ opens with "it leads people", before the bird has been named.
