The correct answer is: C. SQRP
The sentence is about ants eating worms, centipedes, and spiders. It also mentions that these animals are usually quicker than the ant itself, and that they have an extraordinary number of ways of escaping. The sentence ends by saying that ants also eat larvae and insect adults such
as flies, moths, and spring tails.The correct sequence of the sentences is:
- S1: Ants eat worms, centipedes and spiders.
- Q: Nevertheless, these animals do not make easy game for ants.
- R: Besides, they have an extraordinary number of ways of escaping.
- P: They are usually much quicker than the ant itself.
- S: They also eat larvae and insect adults such as flies, moths and spring tails.
The first sentence introduces the topic of the paragraph, which is ants eating worms, centipedes, and spiders. The second sentence provides a contrast to the first
sentence, saying that these animals do not make easy game for ants. The third sentence provides a reason for the contrast, saying that these animals have an extraordinary number of ways of escaping. The fourth sentence provides more information about the animals, saying that they are usually much quicker than the ant itself. The fifth sentence concludes the paragraph by saying that ants also eat larvae and insect adults such as flies, moths, and spring tails.The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. For example, option A, SQPR, puts the second sentence first, which does not make sense because the second sentence provides a contrast to the first sentence. Option B, SPRQ, puts the third sentence first, which does not make sense because the third sentence provides a reason for the contrast. Option D, SRQP, puts the fourth sentence first, which does not make sense because the fourth sentence provides more information about the animals, which is not necessary until after the contrast has been established.
