Question

Choose the correct option to arrange the words in the jumbled sentence to make it meaningful.

\[ \text{A comic story / to the students / was told / by our new teacher.} \]
\[ \text{A \_ \_ \_ \_ B \_ \_ \_ \_ C \_ \_ \_ \_ D} \]

• A. ADBC
• B. ACBD
• C. DCBA
• D. BCDA

Hint:

In passive voice jumbled sentences, the agent phrase with “by” usually comes near the end.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
This is a sentence in the passive voice. The structure for a passive sentence is often: Object + Helping Verb + Main Verb (past participle) + Prepositional Phrase Agent.

Step 2: Identifying the Parts of the Sentence
Object (what was told?): "A comic story" (A)
Verb (passive form): "was told" (C)
Indirect Object (to whom?): "to the students" (B)
Agent (by whom?): "by our new teacher" (D)

Step 3: Arranging in Passive Voice Structure
The logical flow is to state what was told, then to whom it was told, and finally by whom it was told.
Object (A) + Verb (C) + Indirect Object (B) + Agent (D)
This gives us the order ACBD.

Step 4: Forming the Final Sentence
The correctly arranged sentence is: "A comic story was told to the students by our new teacher."
The corresponding sequence is ACBD.
