Question 61
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Many dictionaries also give an example sentence to show how the word is used.
Q. A dictionary does more than give the meaning of a word.
R. Some even tell you where the word came from, such as Latin, Arabic or Sanskrit.
S. It shows how the word is spelt and how it is said.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q opens with the main idea. S gives the first things "it" shows.
P adds an example sentence with "also", and R goes further with "some even".
So the order is QSPR.
Worth noting
SQPR opens with "it", which has nothing to point to until the dictionary is named.
