Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The injured were taken to the hospital.

Option A - This sentence means that the hospital was injured. As the subject 'the injured' and the object 'to the hospital' are not in place, the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - An auxiliary verb is always placed after the subject to explain its state of being. As 'were' is placed after the object, the given sentence is grammatically incorrect. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option D - As the sentence is reversed (object-verb-subject), it is grammatically incorrect. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option C - The subject 'The injured' and the object 'to the hospital' are in place. Also, the auxiliary 'were' is placed right after the subject to determine 'the injured' people's state of being. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

'The injured were taken to the hospital.'
