Honeybees are vital for pollination.
P: They transfer pollen between flowers.
Q: This helps in the growth of fruits and seeds.
R: Without bees, many crops would fail.
S: But bee populations are declining globally.
6. Protecting bees is essential for food security.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct order for the sentence parts is PQRS.
Explanation:
1 and P: The passage starts with "Honeybees are vital for pollination," and P ("They transfer pollen between flowers") directly explains the process of pollination mentioned in the opening sentence.
P and Q: Sentence Q ("This helps in the growth of fruits and seeds") describes the result of the pollen transfer mentioned in P.
Q and R: Sentence R ("Without bees, many crops would fail") presents the negative consequence if the process described in Q doesn't happen.
R, S, and 6: Sentence S introduces the problem ("declining globally"), which leads directly to the concluding statement 6 about the necessity of protecting them for food security.
