Question

Choose the correct option to arrange the words in the jumbled sentence to make it meaningful. 
An interesting book / by my friend / to me / was given.
 A _ _ _ _ B _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ _ D

• A. BACD
• B. ADCB
• C. ADBC
• D. ACDB

Hint:

In passive voice, the object becomes the subject and the agent phrase with “by” often comes at the end.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
This is a passive sentence with both a direct object ("An interesting book") and an indirect object ("to me"). We need to arrange them logically.

Step 2: Identifying the Parts of the Sentence
Direct Object (what was given?): "An interesting book" (A)
Verb (passive form): "was given" (D)
Indirect Object (to whom?): "to me" (C)
Agent (by whom?): "by my friend" (B)

Step 3: Arranging in Passive Voice Structure
The common structure is: Direct Object + Verb + Indirect Object + Agent.
Direct Object (A) + Verb (D) + Indirect Object (C) + Agent (B)
This gives the order ADCB.

Step 4: Forming the Final Sentence
The correctly arranged sentence is: "An interesting book was given to me by my friend."
The corresponding sequence is ADCB.
