Hint:The structure of a sent is subject+verb+object. The subject is the doer of the verb and the focus of the sentence. The subject is often a noun. An article precedes the noun. We will follow the same pattern to rearrange the given words to form a meaningful sentence. Complete answer:Let us analyse both the sentences individually and rearrange them to form a meaningful sentence with the help of the above stated hint. Time that is a waste of playing they feel:- The word ‘playing’ is a verb, therefore it will be placed somewhere in the middle of the sentence and not towards the end. Therefore, this is not the correct option. Playing is a time they that feel waste of:- The word ‘playing’ is a verb, therefore it will be placed somewhere in the middle of the sentence and not at the beginning . Therefore, this is not the correct option. That they feel playing is waste of time:- The word ‘playing’ is a verb, therefore it will be placed somewhere in the middle of the sentence and ‘they’ is the subject which will be the beginning of the sentence . Therefore, this is not the correct option. They feel that playing is a waste of time:- The word ‘playing’ is a verb, therefore it will be placed somewhere in the middle of the sentence and ‘they’ is the subject which will be the beginning of the sentence, ‘waste of time’ is the object . This option follows the structure of a sentence correctly. Therefore, this is the correct option. Hence option D is the correct answer.Note:A sentence is a group of words that is arranged in a particular sequence to be meaningful. If the sequence of its containing words is not correct, a meaningful sentence is not formed. Example: She is a strong girl (correct). Strong is a girl (Incorrect).
