Answer 1

Hint:The format of a general sentence is the subject, followed by a verb and then followed by an object. The words which can be used as the subject/object of the sentence are generally nouns/pronouns. These nouns are preceded by adjectives. In the given sentence, the word ‘recorded’ is a verb. What can be recorded? By the given sentence, we can say that sound can be recorded. Therefore, the noun sound becomes our subject. Now the question lies where? Therefore, the disc will be our object here.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct answer with the help of the above stated hint.

That sound has been recorded on disc: In this given sentence, the word ‘that’ is a determiner which refers to a specific object we indicate to. Here, from the hint it is evident that a disc is the object which is specific. The word ‘that’ is used before sound here. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Sound has been recorded on that disc: This sentence is in the proper format as stated in the hint. It is also grammatically correct. The subject ‘sound’ is followed by the verb recorded followed by the object ‘disc’ determined by ‘that’. Therefore, this is the correct option.

Recorded sound has been on that disc: This sentence doesn’t follow the standard format of a sentence as stated by the hint. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

On that disc recorded sound has been: This sentence doesn’t follow the standard format of a sentence as stated by the hint. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:A sentence can be written in more than one form. But the format should be subject +verb+ object for all general sentences. Another form of writing a sentence is in the active or passive voices. In the active voice, the subject is the doer of the action. And in passive voice, the subject is the receiver of the action. Example: Ram is learning Spanish. (Active)
Example: Spanish is being learned by Ram. (Passive)
