The opening and closing sentences are given. Arrange the sentences between them.
Opening: Most people think a camel's hump is full of water.
P. In fact, the hump is made of fat.
Q. When food is hard to find, the camel's body uses this fat for energy.
R. After a good meal and some rest, it fills out again.
S. As the fat is used up, the hump becomes smaller and may even flop to one side.
Closing: So the hump is not a water tank but a store of food.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

After the opening sentence, P corrects the belief with "in fact".
Q is how the body uses "this fat", S is "as the fat is used up", and R is "after a good meal", which leads to "so" in the closing sentence.
So the order is PQSR.

Worth noting

QPSR opens with "the camel's body uses this fat", before any fat has been mentioned.
