Arrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. It also flies without a sound, so the mouse never hears it coming.
Q. The owl hunts at night, when most birds are asleep.
R. Its large eyes help it see in the dark.
S. Its ears are even better than its eyes: it can hear a mouse moving under the leaves.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Q opens: it names the owl and when it hunts. R says how "its large eyes" help.
S compares its ears with "its eyes", so it follows R. P adds a third help with "also".
So the order is QRSP.

Worth noting

RQSP opens with "its large eyes", which has nothing to belong to until the owl is named.
