CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Q opens with the belief. T says where "this idea" has appeared.
S turns with "but" to what scans show, R adds "even during sleep", and P draws the conclusion with "so".
So the order is QTSRP.

Worth noting

TQSRP opens with "this idea", which has nothing to point to yet.
