CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

R opens with a common view. Q answers it with "in fact".
P gives the first job "it" does, T adds a second with "also", and S sums up with "seen this way".
So the order is RQPTS.

Worth noting

QRPTS opens with "in fact", which needs a view before it to correct.
