Question 237
MediumOriginal questionThe closing sentence is given. Arrange the sentences that lead up to it.

Q. A group of girls in a Kerala village noticed that the stream near their school was full of plastic.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Q opens with the problem. P is what "they" started doing.
S is "soon", too much plastic, and R is the engineer's answer, which leads to the road in the closing sentence.
So the order is QPSR.
Worth noting
QSPR has them drowning in plastic before they have started collecting any.
