Question 205
EasyOriginal questionThe opening sentence is given. Arrange the rest to make a paragraph.
Opening: Raju's grandmother keeps a small clay pot of water on the window ledge in summer.
P. By afternoon, the water is cool, even on the hottest days.
Q. As it dries, it takes heat away from the pot and the water inside.
R. She fills it every morning from the tap.
S. This is because a little water seeps through the clay and dries on the outside of the pot.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
After the opening sentence, R is what she does "every morning".
P is "by afternoon", S explains why with "this is because", and Q continues the explanation with "as it dries".
So the order is RPSQ.
Worth noting
RSPQ explains "this" before the water has become cool.
