Question:

Arrange the following sentences P, Q, R and S in a logical sequence. P: Unlike deserts, which are defined by low rainfall, Antarctica is the world's largest desert. Q: This surprises many people, who associate deserts only with heat and sand. R: It receives less than 200 mm of precipitation a year, almost entirely as snow. S: Yet by the climatological definition, it qualifies easily.

Correct Answer: PQSR

P states the paradox (Antarctica as the largest desert). Q reacts to it ("this surprises..."). S concedes the point ("yet...it qualifies"). R supplies the supporting data (the precipitation figure). The trap is (b) PSQR, which places the concession before the surprise it responds to — "yet" needs the doubt expressed in Q to make sense.
