Question 187
HardOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Still, the same studies warn that too many hours of play can harm sleep and school work.
Q. Yet studies suggest that certain games can improve attention and quick thinking.
R. Some people say that video games are a waste of time.
S. In one study, surgeons who played such games made fewer mistakes in practice operations.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
R opens with one view. Q turns with "yet" to the evidence.
S gives an example study, P turns back with "still", and T weighs both sides.
So the order is RQSPT.
Worth noting
QRSPT opens with "yet", which needs a view before it to turn against.
