Answer 1

Hint: The subject is the entertainer of the sentence, the individual or thing doing the activity. The verb is the 'doing word', the activity of the sentence. The article is the component of the sentence that is followed up on, that the action word is coordinated towards.

Complete answer:
To form a meaningful sentence, we must first know the meanings of all the words that we are using. Secondly, we must know how to use them correctly in the sentence that we desire to form. ‘Crown’ is a circular ornamental headdress that is worn by kings and queens of the monarch. A ‘king’ is the head of the monarch. A throne is a ceremonial chair for a royal leader.

Let us analyze the given options:
Option A) in this sentence, the ‘crown’ an objective noun. When a sentence begins with an objective noun, it is always in the passive voice. When the sentence is in the passive voice, it must use the past participle of the main verb. For e.g. The crown is worn. The verb in the given option is ‘wear’ which is not a participle form. Therefore, this option is wrong.
Option B) in this sentence again, the sentence is beginning with an objective noun i.e. ‘crown’ and hence the verb should be in the past participle form to generate a sentence in the passive voice. But the verb is in the present singular form. Hence, this option is also wrong.
Option C) This is a completely correct sentence, as the sentence begins with a subject ‘king’ followed by his verb ‘wears’ and then the object ‘crown’. Therefore, this is the correct option.
Option D) This option is incorrect because if we do not change the sentence given in the question, then the sentence would be using an incorrect form of the verb ‘wear’.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘C’

Note: When a noun or pronoun is used as a subject we say that it is the ‘subjective case’ of the noun. Similarly, when we use a noun or a pronoun as an object then we call it the ‘objective case’ of the noun. For e.g. I ate chocolates. Here, ‘I’ is in the subjective case and ‘chocolates’ is in the objective case. The uses of these cases are prominent in sentences in the passive voice.
