b) Many great rivers has each continent.
c) Great rivers has many each continent.
d) Each has many great continent rivers.

Answer 1

Hint: The subject, verb, and object should all match with each other. The plurality of the verb should also align with the given subject.

Complete answer:
 In order to find the correct order of the given sentence, we must first understand how sentences are constructed. We must first identify the different parts of speech in the given sentence.

The most basic construction in English is ‘subject + verb + object’. However, it becomes more complicated when other parts of speech come into play. We can add describing words such as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Adjectives are usually placed before a noun and adverbs are usually placed before an adjective or verb. The articles should be placed in appropriate places, as required.

Now, we know what we are looking for. Let’s look at the given options-
a) Each continent has many great rivers. - In this sentence, the subject, verb and, object match each other, and each part of speech is placed correctly. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
b) Many great rivers has each continent. - In this sentence, the subject and the verb do not match. This is grammatically incorrect. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c) Great rivers has many each continent. - In this sentence, the subject and the verb do not match. This is grammatically incorrect. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
d) Each has many great continent rivers. - In this sentence, the subject is not mentioned at all and the verb does not match. This is grammatically incorrect. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note:
Dissect the sentence and go through parts of the sentence separately, and see if there are any extra words to be worth noting. Then, choose the appropriate option accordingly.
