Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The most logical sequence to form a meaningful paragraph is Q, P, S, R.
Q introduces the initial learning process (studying sheet music, learning harder tunes).
P follows with the development of specific skills (finger strength and dexterity) needed to play the music.
S describes the application of these skills in a performance setting (playing a challenging piece from memory for buddies).
R concludes the narrative with the result of all the effort (mastery and becoming a musician).
