Which of the following should be the first sentence after rearrangement?
- 5
- 2
- 3
- 4
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - 5
The paragraph must open with 5, the poor farmer presenting a hare to the king, since every other sentence depends on that gift. Sentence 2 begins “In appreciation” and sentence 4 begins “A few days later”, so both need an earlier event; the full order is 5-2-4-1-6-3.
