C. I
D. Yesterday

a) CBAD
b) ACBD
c) BACD
d) ADCB

Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is a group of words arranged in a meaningful sequence. The sequence in which the words are arranged, is vital for a sentence to communicate its meaning. If this sequence is incorrect, the sentence would mean abrupt or incorrect. Example: I live in New Delhi (Correct).
New Delhi I live in (Incorrect). Hence, we will look for a sequence which gives an apt meaning to the sentence.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually to figure out the correct sequence or order of the sentence.

CBAD : By implying this order, the sentence becomes “ I did a lot of work yesterday “. This sentence is grammatically correct and communicates an apt meaning that conveys the amount of work that the speaker did yesterday was ample. Therefore, this is the correct option.

ACBD: By implying this order, the sentence becomes “A lot of work I did yesterday “. Though this is grammatically correct, but the framing of the sentence is in passive voice, that is the subject is the recipient of the verb’s action. Therefore, this is not the intended option.

BACD: By implying this order, the sentence becomes “did a lot of work I yesterday “, this is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

ADCB: By implying this order, the sentence becomes “a lot of work yesterday I did”, the framing of this sentence is abrupt. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘a’.

Note:The basic framework of a sentence is in active voice, that is , the subject performs the verb’s action. In our concluded answer, the subject ‘I’ performs the verb’s action ‘did’ followed by the object ‘a lot of work yesterday’. Majority of the sentences are written in an active voice unless the subject is the recipient of the verb’s action. In that case, we use passive voice.
