Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q opens with the claim. R is the first step: soaking the paper into pulp.
T cleans "the pulp", P is "then", and S gives how much it saves.
So the order is QRTPS.
Worth noting
RQTPS opens with "old paper is collected", before the paragraph has said why, and so cuts the pulp off from the step that made it.
