Question 195
EasyOriginal questionThe opening and closing sentences are given. Arrange the sentences between them.
Opening: The children decided to put on a puppet show for the younger classes.
P. On the day of the show, the little ones sat on the floor in front of the curtain.
Q. For a week, they practised moving the puppets and saying their lines behind a curtain.
R. First, they wrote a short story about a greedy crow and a clever fox.
S. Then they made the puppets from old socks, buttons and bits of wool.
Closing: When the fox tricked the crow, they laughed so loudly that the principal came to see.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
After the opening sentence, R says "first": they wrote the story.
S says "then": the puppets. Q is a week of practice with "the puppets", and P is the day of the show, which leads to the laughter in the closing sentence.
So the order is RSQP.
Worth noting
RQSP practises with the puppets before they have been made.
