The correct answer is: A. SQPR
The first sentence, “We now know that the oceans are very deep,” sets the stage for the rest of the paragraph. The second sentence, “Much of it is fairly flat,” provides some general information about the ocean floor. The third sentence, “However, there are great mountain ranges as well,” introduces the main topic of the paragraph, which is the Indian Ridge. The fourth sentence, “For example, the Indian ocean has a range called the Indian Ridge,” provides a specific example of a mountain range in the ocean. The fifth sentence, “This reaches from the India to the Antarctic,” provides more information about the Indian Ridge. The sixth sentence, “On average the bottom is 2.5 miles to 3.5 miles down,” provides some additional information about the ocean floor.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the information in the paragraph. Option B, PQSR, puts the sentence about the Indian Ridge before the sentence that introduces it. Option C, RSQP, puts the sentence about the average depth of the ocean floor before the sentence that provides general information about the ocean floor. Option D, QPRS, puts the sentence about the Indian Ridge after the sentence that provides additional information about the ocean floor.
