Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence:
Lying on the grass, a snake bit him.

• A. Lying on the grass, a snake was bitten by him.
• B. A snake bit him lying on the grass.
• C. Lying on the grass, he was bitten by a snake.
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lying on the grass, he was bitten by a snake.

Choice C is the correct answer. When the first part of the sentence has a past participle, the verb 'bitten in the second part agrees with the first. Choice A is wrong as the sentence says that the man bit the snake. Choice B is wrong as sentence is incomplete. Choice D is wrong as the verb 'bit' does not agree with past participle. Hence C is correct.
