Question 190
HardOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. For most of history, people could only guess what the far side of the Moon looked like.
Q. The Moon turns in a way that keeps the same face towards the Earth.
R. In 2019, a Chinese rover became the first machine to land on the far side.
S. So no one on Earth had ever seen its other side.
T. In 1959, a Soviet spacecraft flew behind the Moon and sent back the first blurry photographs.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P opens with the mystery. Q explains why: the same face always points at us.
S is the result with "so", T is 1959, and R is 2019.
So the order is PQSTR.
Worth noting
PQTSR says no one had ever seen the far side after the paragraph has told us a spacecraft photographed it.
