Question

Choose the option that best corrects the given sentence:
The man ought to be brought before a judge who is guilty of such fraud.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. The man ought to be brought, who is guilty of such fraud, before a judge.
• C. A judge who is guilty of such fraud ought to be brought before the man.
• D. The man who is guilty of such fraud ought to be brought before a judge.

Answer 1

The correct option is D The man who is guilty of such fraud ought to be brought before a judge.

Since "ought...judge" is qualified by "who ...fraud", these should be placed close together. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not place the qualifying clauses close together, hence these are incorrect.
