Select the option which rearranges them meaningfully.

• B. Each student was given an assignment.
• C. Student given was an each assignment.
• D. Each assignment was given an student.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Each student was given an assignment.

Option A - 'An student' is grammatically incorrect, as 's' is a consonant and 'an' can only be used with a word starting with a vowel sound. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'An' is only used before a noun and not a before a determiner (an each- is grammatically incorrect). Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - The word 'given' explains that the sentence is in the passive voice. 'An student' is grammatically incorrect, as 's' is a consonant and 'an' can only be used with a word starting with a vowel sound. The subject and object are interchanged in the sentence. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option B - The pronoun/determiner 'each' is used before the noun as the subject here. The sentence is correctly formed in the passive voice. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

'Each student was given an assignment.'
