Question 52
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Bamboo is a kind of grass, not a tree.
Q. Because it grows so fast, it can be cut again and again without harming the plant.
R. This makes it a good material for building, furniture and even paper.
S. Some kinds can grow almost a metre in a single day.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P opens: it says what bamboo is. S says how fast some kinds grow.
Q follows with "because it grows so fast", and R says what "this" makes bamboo good for.
So the order is PSQR.
Worth noting
PRQS says "this makes it a good material" straight after the first sentence, before the reason has been given.
