EasyOriginal questionThe opening and closing sentences are given. Arrange the sentences between them.
Opening: Rekha was the only girl in her village to reach college.
P. In her final year, she came first in the whole university.
Q. The college gave her a scholarship to study further, with all fees paid.

S. Her parents had to sell two of their goats to pay the first year's fees.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
After the opening sentence, S is what her parents gave up for "the first year's fees".
R is how she repaid "what it had cost them", P is "her final year", and Q is the scholarship, which leads to her return home in the closing sentence.
So the order is SRPQ.
Worth noting
SPRQ has her come first in her final year before she has begun to study hard.
