Answer 1

Hint: In the English language to construct a meaningful sentence, the word order must be - Subject, Verb, and Object.

Complete Solution:
From the hint given to us, we know that in English language to construct a meaningful sentence, the word order must be - Subject, Verb and Object. It means that the subject must be at the initial position, followed by the verb and then the object. We also know that an auxiliary verb can only be placed before the main verb. An auxiliary verb is the helping verb. Thus, we can infer that the correct sentence must follow these guidelines.
In the first option, we observe that the sentence follows the correct word order, as per the guidelines. It is also semantically correct in nature. Hence, option A is possibly the correct answer.
The second option is grammatically correct but it is semantically incorrect. We know that a dictionary consists of words and not vice-versa. Hence, option B is not the correct answer.
In the third option, we observe that the sentence is ungrammatical as it does not follow the given guidelines. The main verb has been placed at the initial position instead of the subject. Hence, option C is not the correct answer.
In the fourth option, we observe that the auxiliary verb has not been placed before the main verb. Hence, option D is not the correct answer.

Thus, we can conclude that option A is the correct answer.

Note: It is to be noted that the words in a sentence must be in agreement with each other in order to make the sentence meaningful.
