Question

Arrange the parts of the sentence in the correct sequence.

(i) The Collector said that the Dams should receive
(ii) To ensure uninterrupted
(iii) Water up to a particular level
(iv) Supply of water for irrigation

• A. ii, i, iv, iii
• B. i, iii, ii, iv
• C. iv, i, iii, ii
• D. ii, iv, i, iii

Answer 1

The correct option is B i, iii, ii, iv

The structure of the sentence should be subject+verb+direct object+ infinitive to show purpose. Here the subject is "The Collector", verb "said", object" supply of water for irrigation", infinitive" to ensure..level". Hence, option B is correct, that is, "The Collector said that the Dams should receive water up to a particular level to ensure uninterrupted supply of water for irrigation." The rest of the options do not adhere to this logical sequence, hence incorrect.
