Question 77
HardOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Yet doctors say that even thirty minutes a day can lower the risk of heart disease.
Q. So a daily walk may be worth more than an expensive gym plan that is never used.
R. It needs no equipment, no fees and no special skill.
S. Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay healthy.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
S opens: it names walking and makes a claim. R explains the "simplest" part, with "it" for walking.
P begins with "yet": simple as it is, it works. Q draws the conclusion with "so".
So the order is SRPQ.
Worth noting
RSPQ opens with "it", which has nothing to point to until walking is named.
