Question 214
EasyOriginal questionThe closing sentence is given. Arrange the sentences that lead up to it.
P. Snow leopards live high in the mountains of Central Asia, including Ladakh.
Q. Their long, heavy tails help them balance on narrow ledges.
R. Their thick grey fur, with dark spots, keeps them warm and hides them against the rocks.
S. At night, they wrap these tails around their faces like a scarf.
Closing: With all this, they can live where few other animals can survive.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P opens: it names snow leopards and where they live. R describes "their thick grey fur".
Q describes "their long, heavy tails", and S says what they do with "these tails", which leads to "with all this" in the closing sentence.
So the order is PRQS.
Worth noting
PRSQ wraps "these tails" around their faces before any tails have been mentioned.
