Question 41
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. That night, his neighbours came over to charge their phones and share his dinner.
Q. Only one house still had its lights on.
R. When the storm knocked out the power, the whole colony went dark.
S. It belonged to an old engineer who had fixed solar panels on his roof years ago.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
R opens: the storm and the dark colony. Q points to the one house with lights.
S says whose house "it" was and why it had power, and P says what "his neighbours" did "that night".
So the order is RQSP.
Worth noting
QRSP opens with "only one house still had its lights on", before the paragraph says the power went out.
