Question 36
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Many people think that bats are blind.
Q. In fact, most bats can see quite well.
R. They make high sounds and listen for the echoes that bounce back from objects.
S. Many of them also use echoes to find their way in the dark.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P opens with a common belief. Q answers it with "in fact", so it must follow the belief.
S adds "also use echoes", a second way of finding the way, and R explains how "they" do it.
So the order is PQSR.
Worth noting
PSQR puts the echoes before "in fact", so the belief is not answered straight away and "also" has nothing to add to.
