Question 121
EasyOriginal questionArrange the sentences in the right order to make a paragraph.
P. Butterflies taste with their feet.
Q. She must choose a plant that her caterpillars will be able to eat.
R. When a butterfly lands on a leaf, tiny hairs on its feet tell it what the plant is.
S. This matters most to a mother butterfly looking for a place to lay her eggs.
T. So she lands on leaf after leaf, tasting each one, until she finds the right kind.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P opens with the surprising fact. R explains how it works "when a butterfly lands".
S says who "this" matters most to, Q says what "she" must choose, and T is what she does with "so".
So the order is PRSQT.
Worth noting
PSRQT says "this matters most" before the paragraph has explained how the tasting works.
