Arrange into a paragraph:
1. The streets were wet.
2. We decided to cancel the picnic.
3. Dark clouds covered the sky.
4. Soon, it began to rain heavily.
To arrange the given sentences into a coherent paragraph, let's consider the logical sequence that accurately conveys the narrative of events: The correct order starts with a description of the weather, progresses to the resulting effect, and ends with the decision taken.
The correct order is:
3. Dark clouds covered the sky.
4. Soon, it began to rain heavily.
1. The streets were wet.
2. We decided to cancel the picnic.
This sequence follows a logical and chronological order: the dark clouds indicate impending rain (sentence 3), then it begins to rain heavily (sentence 4), leading to wet streets (sentence 1), which prompts the decision to cancel the picnic (sentence 2).
Re-arrange the following parts of a sentence in their correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence.
(A) because of the unexpected storm
(B) the outdoor concert
(C) was cancelled
(D) at the last minute
