Answer 1

Hint: The sentences tell us about an incident. The parts of speech have to be in the right order. Try to rearrange them in the order that makes the most sense.

Complete answer:
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 simple and base level construction in English is ‘subject + verb + object’. However, it becomes a little more complicated when other parts of speech such as adverbs and adjectives come into play. We can add words which describe other words such as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Adjectives are supposed to be placed
before a noun and adverbs are supposed to be placed before an adjective or a verb. The
articles should be placed in appropriate places, as they are required for specificity.

Now, we know what we are looking for. Let’s look at the given options:
(a)c-a-b-d - In this option, the parts of speech are aligned correctly. This sentence is constructed correctly. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
(b)d-a-b-c - In this option, the parts of speech are not aligned correctly. This sentence is not constructed correctly, as the sentence starts with a verb. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(c)a-d-c-b - In this option, the parts of speech are not aligned correctly. This sentence is not constructed correctly, as the order is jumbled. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(d)c-d-a-b - In this option, the parts of speech are not aligned correctly. This sentence is not constructed correctly, as the sentence is unnecessarily rearranged. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note: Make sure that each part of speech aligns with the parts of speech that come before and after. That will help you to choose the order correctly.
