Question 105
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. At night, the lamp turns and sends out flashes of light.
Q. Each lighthouse has its own pattern of flashes, so sailors can tell which one they are looking at.
R. It is built on a coast or a rock, where ships could be wrecked.
S. This tells them where they are and warns them to keep away from the rocks.
T. A lighthouse is a tall tower with a bright lamp at the top.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
T opens: it says what a lighthouse is. R says where "it" is built.
P says what "the lamp" does at night, Q explains each "pattern of flashes", and S says what "this" tells sailors.
So the order is TRPQS.
Worth noting
TPRQS turns to the lamp before saying where the lighthouse stands, so "it is built" then seems to mean the lamp.
