Question

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

\[ \text{The young man / by the committee / was selected / for scoring 100 runs.} \]
\[ \text{A \_ \_ \_ \_ B \_ \_ \_ \_ C \_ \_ \_ \_ D} \]

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

Hint:

In passive sentences, first place the subject, then the passive verb, then the agent phrase.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
This is another sentence in the passive voice. We need to identify the subject (who received the action), the verb, the agent (who did the action), and the reason.

Step 2: Identifying the Parts of the Sentence
Subject (who was selected?): "The young man" (A)
Verb (passive form): "was selected" (C)
Agent (by whom?): "by the committee" (B)
Reason (why?): "for scoring 100 runs" (D)

Step 3: Arranging in Passive Voice Structure
The standard structure is Subject + Verb + Agent + Adverbial Phrase (Reason).
Subject (A) + Verb (C) + Agent (B) + Reason (D)
This gives us the order ACBD.

Step 4: Forming the Final Sentence
The correctly arranged sentence is: "The young man was selected by the committee for scoring 100 runs."
The corresponding sequence is ACBD.
