Question 165
MediumOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. There are so many of them that together they make about half the world's oxygen.
Q. Forests are not the only source of the oxygen we breathe.
R. Much of it comes from tiny plants that float in the sea, called phytoplankton.
S. So keeping the oceans clean matters for our breath as much as protecting forests.
T. Like trees, they use sunlight to make food and give off oxygen.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Q opens with the claim. R says where "much of it" comes from.
T says what "they" do, like trees, P says how much they make together, and S draws the lesson with "so".
So the order is QRTPS.
Worth noting
RQTPS opens with "much of it", which has nothing to point to yet.
