Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Q opens with the famous fact. T gives what "many people think".
P corrects it with "in fact", R gives examples of moods, and S adds another cause with "too".
So the order is QTPRS.
Worth noting
QTRPS gives the angry and calm chameleons before the paragraph has said that colour shows mood.
