Question 131
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. It pumps blood through the body without ever resting.
Q. The human heart is a muscle about the size of a fist.
R. With each beat, it pushes blood full of oxygen out to every part of the body.
S. In one day, it beats about a hundred thousand times.
T. The blood then returns to the heart, which sends it to the lungs for more oxygen.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Q opens: it names the heart. P says what "it" does.
S says how often it beats, and R says what happens "with each beat". T says what "the blood then" does.
So the order is QPSRT.
Worth noting
PQSRT opens with "it", which has nothing to point to until the heart is named.
