Discussion
Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. Only its sharp eyes moved, darting left and right as its nostrils twitched and it smelled dinner.
B. A huge lizard-like creature was hiding in the bushes.
C. A juicy little insect!
D. It was still as a statue, from the tip of its snout to the curve of its tail.
Answer: D
The correct order is BDAC. Sentence B introduces the subject, a huge lizard-like creature hiding in the bushes, so it opens the paragraph. D then says it was still as a statue, which refers back to the creature. A continues with the detail that only its sharp eyes moved as it smelled dinner, and C closes with what the dinner is, a juicy little insect. Starting with A or C, as in the other options, would refer to its eyes or an insect before the creature has been named.
