Answer 1

Hint: Read the given words carefully and try to understand the meaning of the given sentence. Arrange the words in such a manner that they are grammatically correct and the meaning of the sentence isn’t changed.

Complete answer: We are provided with some jumbled words, that is, the words are arranged in a disordered manner and we are supposed to arrange them in a way that they make sense. The given sentence may have two clauses. A clause is a part of the sentence that contains a verb. A typical clause consists of a subject and a predicate, the latter typically a verb phrase, a verb with any objects and other modifiers. We have to choose the best option.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
(a)’For our own wear we must protection helmets.’– It cannot be the correct answer as it is not making any sense and is grammatically incorrect. So, we will eliminate this option.
(b)’We must wear helmets for our own protection.’ – It is the correct answer as the subject, and the predicate is placed correctly. The sentence is making sense and is logical. It is also grammatically correct.
(c)’We must protection helmets for our own wear.’ - It cannot be the correct answer as it is not making any sense and is grammatically incorrect. So, we will eliminate this option.
(d)’Helmets we must wear for our own protection.’- It cannot be the correct answer as it is not making any sense and is grammatically incorrect. So, we will eliminate this option.
Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note: Pay attention to all the parts of speech given in all the sentences and see if they are correctly placed. This way, you’ll get the correct answer easily.
