A sentence is made up the basic parts: subject (doer of the action) + verb (describing the action) + object (receiver of the action).
The object may or may not be a part of a sentence. Also, there are various elements that modify these parts.
The correct form of the given sentence is:
Every cloud (subject)/ has a (verb + article)/ silver/ lining (adjective +gerund = object).
b c a d
'Every cloud has a silver lining' is a proverb that means:
Every difficult situation always leads to better days.
Hence option A is correct.
Options B, C and D are incorrect because they do not create sentences that follow the required structure.
