Question 147

MediumOriginal question

Arrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.

P. Many of the words we use in English came from other languages.

Q. These words entered English during British rule in India.

R. So an English speaker who washes her hair uses a word that began in India.

S. "Shampoo" comes from the Hindi word "champo", meaning to press or massage.

T. In the same way, "jungle" comes from "jangal", and "bungalow" from a word meaning a house in the Bengal style.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P opens with the main idea. S gives the first example.

  2. T adds more "in the same way", Q says when "these words" entered English, and R draws a playful conclusion with "so".

  3. So the order is PSTQR.

Worth noting

SPTQR opens with "shampoo", an example, before the paragraph has said what it is an example of.
