Answer 1

Hint: While arranging jumbled words, try to find the topic addressed by the sentence. Jumble is a word puzzle which is played by scrambling the letters to make an anagram, based on some clue.
Complete answer::
 To arrange jumbled words, one must follow a rule– The subject comes before the verb which comes before the object. Among the given words, we find the word ‘to’ and the infinite form of the verb ‘observe'. These two words would go together in a phrase, that is, ‘to observe'.
Now, let us examine all the given options and find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ – It is important to observe traffic rules. In this sentence, the subject of the sentence is, ‘it’. The word ‘is' is the verb. If we ask the question ‘what is important?’ the answer is given by the phrase, ‘it is important to observe traffic rules'. This is also grammatically and logically correct.
Option ‘b’ – To observe traffic rules it is important. The phrase ‘to observe traffic rules' is used in the beginning of the sentence, which means ‘in order to observe traffic rules'. Such a phrase has to be followed by the explanation of what one must do in order to observe traffic rules. However, the given sentence is incomplete as it does not explain what is important. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘c’ – Traffic rules to observe is it important. The phrase ‘traffic rules to observe' is grammatically incorrect as there is no verb following the noun ‘traffic rules'. So, this is also an incorrect answer.
Option ‘d’ – It is to observe important traffic rules. The phrase ‘it is to observe' is grammatically incorrect as ‘it is' should have been followed by an adjective. So, this option is incorrect.
As we have analysed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct sentence would be – It is important to observe traffic rules.

Hence, option ‘a’ is the correct option.

Note: One must know the placing of the subject and the predicate of any given jumbled sentence while doing such questions. A geek knowledge of all the parts of speech is very important while solving a jumbled sentence.
