Hint: To re-arrange a sentence, one must find the main subject of the given sentence. This way, you will come to know where the sentence will start.

Complete answer:
To re-arrange the given sentence, one must find out the form of tenses and the main verb of the sentence. When you have recognized all the given words and their parts of the speeches, of the given sentence, then after using your common sense, you can easily make out the correct answer.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is He and had a wife they were noble happy. This sentence is completely wrong and has many grammatical errors. This sentence has no specific subject or predicate and the verb forms are also incorrectly placed.
Option ‘b’ is He had a noble wife and they were happy. This sentence is correctly placed, without any grammatical errors. This sentence has a subject and a predicate, which are also correct.
Option ‘c’ is He had a noble wife and they were happy. This sentence is not correct as the phrase ‘happy were' is incorrect. It should be ‘were happy' instead.
Option ‘d’ is He had a wife happy and they were noble. This sentence is incorrect and has many grammatical errors, it has no specific subject and predicate.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct, arranged sentence is – He had a noble wife and they were happy. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.
