Question 208
EasyOriginal questionThe opening sentence is given. Arrange the rest to make a paragraph.
Opening: The school library got a new rule: every student must read one book a month.
P. At first, many students grumbled about it.
Q. But the librarian let each student choose any book at all, even comics.

S. Soon, students who had never read a book were asking for the next one in a series.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
After the opening sentence, P is "at first".
Q turns with "but", S is "soon", and R is "by the end of the year".
So the order is PQSR.
Worth noting
QPRS opens with "but", which needs something before it to turn against.
