Question 70
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. They spent about two and a half hours outside their spacecraft.
Q. In 1969, two astronauts became the first people to walk on the Moon.
R. Their footprints are still there, because there is no wind on the Moon to blow them away.
S. During that time, they collected rocks and set up tools to study the Moon.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q opens with the event and the year. P says how long "they" spent outside.
S says what they did "during that time", and R says why "their footprints" are still there.
So the order is QPSR.
Worth noting
QSRP puts the footprints before the work the astronauts did, so "during that time" points at the footprints.
