Answer 1

Hint: A sentence makes sense only when all the parts of speech are correctly placed and do not have any punctuation errors. You must also check all the parts of speech of the jumbled words, to place them correctly.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to form a complete phrase from the given jumbled words. A proverb is a simple, concrete, traditional saying that expresses a perceived truth based on common sense or experience. Proverbs are often metaphorical and use formulaic language. Collectively, they form a genre of folklore. The given proverb is - ‘Today man is playing with nature’ is a sentence that means: Our environment is being harmed by humans every single day. We thus possess a great threat to our own environment.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer-
Option ‘a’ – it is the correct option because it completes the given proverb completely. All the words are perfectly placed here.
Option ‘b' – it is an incorrect option because all the words when joined in this form are not making any sense.
Option ‘c’ – it is an incorrect option as the sentence cannot start with ‘playing with'.
Option ‘d’ – it is also an incorrect option as the proverb is ‘today man is playing with nature' is the correct proverb.
Hence, option ‘a’ is the correct answer.

Note:
 A sentence is made up of the basic parts: subject (doer of the action) + verb (describing the action) + object (receiver of the action). The object may or may not be a part of a sentence. Also, there are various elements that modify these parts.
