P. Its long neck lets it eat leaves from the tops of trees that other animals cannot reach.
Q. But the long neck makes drinking hard.
R. In this position, it is in danger from lions, so it drinks quickly and looks around often.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

S opens: it names the giraffe. P says what "its long neck" helps with.
Q turns with "but" to the problem, T says how a giraffe drinks, and R says what "this position" costs.
So the order is SPQTR.

Worth noting

PSQTR opens with "its long neck", which has nothing to belong to until the giraffe is named.
