Question 51
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. The new library in our town opened last month.
Q. There is also a corner for children, with picture books and small chairs.
R. It has more than ten thousand books and a quiet reading room.
S. Since it opened, both the reading room and the children's corner have been full every evening.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P opens: it names the library. R describes what "it" has.
Q adds "also" a children's corner. S names both the reading room and "the children's corner", so it comes after both.
So the order is PRQS.
Worth noting
RPQS opens with "it", which has nothing to point to until the library is named.
