CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

T opens: it names the students and their question. P is the first step: borrowing "a sound meter".
Q says how they used it, R gives "the results", and S is what they did with the results.
So the order is TPQRS.

Worth noting

PTQRS opens with "they", who have not been named yet.
