Arrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Lightning is a giant spark of electricity in the sky.
Q. When the charge becomes too large, it jumps to another cloud or to the ground.
R. The flash heats the air so fast that the air bursts outwards.
S. It happens when tiny pieces of ice in a storm cloud rub together and build up a charge.
T. That burst is the sound we hear as thunder.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

P opens: it says what lightning is. S says how "it" happens.
Q says what the charge does when it grows too large, R says what "the flash" does to the air, and T names "that burst".
So the order is PSQRT.

Worth noting

SPQRT opens with "it happens", which has nothing to point to until lightning is named.
