Ordering sentences into a paragraph · Question 141 of 250

Question 141

MediumOriginal question

Arrange 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.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. T opens with the surprising fact. S explains it with "they".

  2. R says what happens "when a snake rests its jaw", Q draws the result with "so", and P applies it to snake charmers.

  3. So the order is TSRQP.

Worth noting

STRQP opens with "they", which has nothing to point to until snakes are named.
