Question 13
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. It also eats dead leaves and leaves behind waste that makes the soil rich.
Q. An earthworm has no eyes, no ears and no legs.
R. Yet it is one of the most useful creatures in a garden.
S. As it moves through the soil, it makes tunnels that let in air and water.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q opens: it names the earthworm and what it lacks. R turns with "yet": it is useful all the same.
S gives the first way it helps, and P adds a second with "also".
So the order is QRSP.
Worth noting
QRPS gives the second use, with "also", before the first.
