Question 42
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. That is why the western slopes of the Western Ghats are among the wettest places in the country.
Q. Winds blowing from the sea carry moisture over the land.
R. When these winds meet the hills, they rise and cool, and the moisture falls as rain.
S. The monsoon brings most of India's rain between June and September.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
S opens: it names the monsoon and when it comes. Q explains where the rain comes from: winds from the sea.
R says what happens when "these winds" reach the hills, and P gives the result with "that is why".
So the order is SQRP.
Worth noting
SPRQ reaches "when these winds meet the hills" before any winds have been named, because the sentence about the winds comes last.
