Question 81
HardOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. The Arctic fox goes further: its fur is brown in summer and turns white in winter.
Q. It helps them hide against the snow from the animals that hunt them.
R. So it stays hidden all year, whatever the colour of the ground.
S. Many animals that live in cold places have white fur.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
S opens: it names the pattern, white fur. Q says what "it", the white fur, does.
P gives an animal that "goes further", and R draws the result for "it", the fox.
So the order is SQPR.
Worth noting
QSPR opens with "it helps them hide", which has nothing to point to until the white fur is named.
