CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Q opens: it says what glass is made from. S says what is done to "the sand".
T shapes "the hot liquid", P is "as it cools", and R explains why glass can be recycled.
So the order is QSTPR.

Worth noting

SQTPR opens with "the sand is mixed", before we know what the sand is for.
