Parts of a sentence are given below in jumbled order. Select the option that arranges the parts in the correct order to form a meaningful sentence.
A) based on the
B) we live in
C) nation that
D) our nationality is
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. D, A, C, B.
Identifying the Subject:
"Our nationality is" (part D) introduces the main subject and verb of the sentence. This makes it a good starting point.
Adding the Predicate:
After "our nationality is," we need to explain what it's based on. "Based on the" (part A) logically follows as it begins to describe the basis of nationality.
Describing the Basis:
"Nation that" (part C) continues the description started by "based on the." It specifies what nationality is based on.
Completing the Thought:
"We live in" (part B) completes the description by telling us that nationality depends on the nation where we live.
Combining these parts in the identified order forms a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence: "Our nationality is based on the nation that we live in."
This arrangement ensures the sentence flows logically, clearly stating that nationality depends on the country of residence.
