Question 226
MediumOriginal questionThe opening and closing sentences are given. Arrange the sentences between them.
Opening: Aditi had never cooked a meal on her own.
P. The rice turned out fine, but she forgot the salt in the dal.
Q. Her father tasted it, said nothing, and quietly added salt to everyone's bowl.
R. She called her grandmother, who told her how to make dal and rice over the phone.
S. When her mother fell ill, Aditi decided to make dinner for the family.
Closing: Later, her mother said it was the best dinner she had ever eaten, because someone else had made it.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
After the opening sentence, S is why she decided to cook.
R is how she learned, P is how the food turned out, and Q is what her father did about the missing salt, which leads to "later" in the closing sentence.
So the order is SRPQ.
Worth noting
SPRQ has the food turn out before she has found out how to make it.
