Question 38
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. It was once found across the dry grasslands of India, but now survives mainly in Rajasthan.
Q. It has disappeared from most of those grasslands because they have been turned into farms.
R. The Great Indian Bustard is one of the heaviest flying birds in the world.
S. Many of the birds that remain also die by flying into power lines, which they cannot see well.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
R opens: it names the bird. P says where it was once found and where it survives now.
Q explains why it vanished from "those grasslands", which P named. S gives a second danger with "also", so it comes after the first.
So the order is RPQS.
Worth noting
RQSP says "those grasslands" before any grasslands have been named.
