Question 27
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. At first, Sachin was scared to let go of the side.
Q. Sachin wanted to learn to swim before the summer holidays ended.
R. His uncle took him to the pool every morning.
S. By the end of the month, he could swim across the pool alone.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q opens: it names Sachin and his wish. R says how "his uncle" helped.
P is "at first", and S is "by the end of the month", so they follow in time.
So the order is QRPS.
Worth noting
RQSP opens with "his uncle", before we know whose uncle.
