Answer 1

Hint: The usual formation of sentences is based on SVO- Subject, Verb, and Object. In most cases, the subject and objects of a given sentence are nouns or pronouns.

Complete step-by-step answer:

As given in the hint, we will follow the SVO format.
We can conclude that the subject and object in the above given question are ‘Sound and disc’. And the main verb is ‘recorded’. Also, we can see the use of auxiliary verbs- ‘has’ and ‘been’. Auxiliary verbs are used with the main verbs to enhance the main verbs’ mood or voice.
Hence, we can join the auxiliary verb and the main verb to form the complete verb: has been + recorded = has been recorded.
Also, ‘that’ is a demonstrative adjective which is used to specify a noun or a pronoun in a sentence. So, let’s put all these words together in SVO format- Sound has been recorded on that disc.
Now, let’s examine the given options:
a)The formation of this sentence is incorrect, as we have not specified on which disc was the sound recorded. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
b)The formation of this sentence is accurate. Hence, it is the correct option.
c)We cannot use the auxiliary verb without a main verb. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
d)The adverbial phrase has been placed at the beginning and it does not modify any word. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
The correct answer is Option ‘b’.

Note: It is important to configure each word and understand its use in the sentence.
