P. In a long race, though, the runner who starts too fast often tires before the end.
Q. So in running, as in many things, knowing when to push can matter more than speed alone.
R. It is tempting to think that the fastest runner always wins the race.
S. Good runners hold back in the early laps and save their strength.
T. In the last lap, when others are tired, they speed up and pass them.

Correct answer: C

R opens with a tempting idea. P turns with "though".
S says what good runners do instead, T is "the last lap", and Q draws the lesson with "so".
So the order is RPSTQ.

Worth noting

PRSTQ opens with "though", which needs an idea before it to turn against.
