Question

The given sentence has been re-written. Choose the option that has not changed in meaning from the original:
The amateur dancer accepted the generous compliments in a happy mood.

• A. Happily, the amateur dancer accepted the generous compliments.
• B. The amateur dancer accepted the generous compliments since she was in a happy mood.
• C. Having been happy, the amateur dancer accepted the generous compliments.
• D. The amateur dancer accepted the generous compliments and was in a happy mood.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Happily, the amateur dancer accepted the generous compliments.

The correct answer is Option A.

Here, 'Happily' used in the beginning of the sentence emphasizes the emotion mentioned and in the remaining sentence the words are placed in the correct order and the verb agrees to the subject appropriately.

Options B, C and D are incorrect as the emphasis is not ensured and the meaning is also not retained in the given options due to inappropriate ordering of events.
