Question 115
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Ajay dropped his phone into the village pond.
Q. He could see it shining on the muddy bottom, but the water was too deep to reach.
R. His grandfather tied a small net to a long bamboo pole and reached down with it.
S. It never worked again, but Ajay learned to keep his next phone away from the pond.
T. After a few tries, the net scooped the phone out of the mud.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
P opens: Ajay drops his phone. Q says where "it" was.
R is his grandfather's idea, T is "after a few tries", and S is the end.
So the order is PQRTS.
Worth noting
PRQTS has his grandfather reach into the water before we know the phone was out of reach.
