Question 100
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Later, office workers stop by on their way to catch the local train.
Q. Ramesh runs a small tea stall near the railway station.
R. He opens it at five in the morning, before the first train arrives.
S. By the time he closes at night, he has made more than three hundred cups.
T. His first customers are the porters, who drink their tea standing.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q opens: it names Ramesh and his stall. R says when "he" opens "it".
T gives "his first customers", P is "later", and S is "by the time he closes".
So the order is QRTPS.
Worth noting
RQTPS opens with "he opens it", before we know who he is or what "it" is.
