Question

Arrange the following parts to form a logical and meaningful sentence:
a. for the last six months
b. as he has been
c. he will do well in the examinations
d. studying diligently

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D c-b-d-a

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: c is the only phrase that starts a topic. It says that he will do well in the examinations.

c is followed by b: b tells us why he will do well. It says that he will do well as he has been doing something.

b is followed by d: d tells us what he has been doing. It says that he will do well as he has been studying diligently.

d is followed by a: a tells us for how long he has been studying. It says that he has been studying diligently for the last six months.

Finally, the correct sentence is 'He will do well in examinations as he has been studying diligently for the last six months'.

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