Question

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

\[ \text{By all the people / is always / respected / an honest man.} \]
\[ \text{A \_ \_ \_ \_ B \_ \_ \_ \_ C \_ \_ \_ \_ D} \]

• A. BADC
• B. BCAD
• C. DBCA
• D. ACBD

Hint:

In jumbled passive sentences, identify the real subject first and place the “by” phrase at the end.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
This sentence is in the passive voice. The subject is the one being respected, not the one doing the respecting. We need to find the subject first.

Step 2: Identifying the Parts of the Sentence
Subject (who is respected?): "an honest man" (D)
Verb (with adverb): "is always" (B)
Main Verb (past participle): "respected" (C)
Agent (by whom?): "By all the people" (A)

Step 3: Arranging in Passive Voice Structure
The structure is Subject + Verb + Agent.
Subject (D) + Verb (B + C) + Agent (A)
So, the order is D, then B, then C, then A. This gives DBCA.

Step 4: Forming the Final Sentence
The correctly arranged sentence is: "An honest man is always respected by all the people."
The corresponding sequence is DBCA.
