Question 116
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Its earliest parts were made of pressed earth.
Q. In all, the walls stretch for thousands of kilometres across mountains and deserts.
R. The Great Wall of China is not one wall but many walls, built over about two thousand years.
S. Later rulers rebuilt it with stone and brick, which is why some parts look new.
T. It is often said that the Wall can be seen from space, but astronauts say it cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
R opens: it names the Great Wall. P says what "its earliest parts" were made of.
S is "later rulers", Q is its length "in all", and T corrects a common belief.
So the order is RPSQT.
Worth noting
PRSQT opens with "its earliest parts", which have nothing to belong to until the Wall is named.
