Question 141
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. This is why a snake charmer's music does not really charm the snake: it follows the movement of the pipe.
Q. So a snake "hears" an animal coming through the ground rather than through the air.
R. When a snake rests its jaw on the ground, it can feel the shaking made by footsteps.
S. They have no outer ears, and their inner ears are joined to their jaw.
T. Snakes cannot hear sounds in the air the way we do.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
T opens with the surprising fact. S explains it with "they".
R says what happens "when a snake rests its jaw", Q draws the result with "so", and P applies it to snake charmers.
So the order is TSRQP.
Worth noting
STRQP opens with "they", which has nothing to point to until snakes are named.
