Question

Arrange the following parts (a, b, c, d) to form a meaningful sentence:
a. a major lack of
b. information on
c. there is
d. this subject

• A. a-b-d-c
• B. c-a-b-d
• C. c-b-a-d
• D. d-b-a-c

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

c-a-b-d

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It must not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

c is first in the sequence: No phrases other than c start a topic. c starts by saying 'there is'.

c is followed by a: a tells us what is there. It says that there is a major lack.

a is followed by b: b continues by saying that there is a major lack of information.

b is followed by d: d tells us what the lack of information is about. It says that there is a major lack of information on this subject.

Finally, the correct sentence is 'There is a major lack of information on this subject'.

Thus, the correct sequence is c a b d. Hence, B is the correct option.
