Which of the following should be the second sentence after rearrangement?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 2
After the gift in sentence 5, sentence 2 follows: “In appreciation” refers to the hare, and the king orders a stew in the farmer's honour. Sentence 4 happens only “a few days later”, and the “them” of sentence 1 needs the visitors of sentence 4, so the order is 5-2-4-1-6-3.
