Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Greenbalt is the founding father of New Historicism considered.

  1. "Greenblatt" is the subject of the sentence, so it should come at the beginning.
  2. "is considered" is the verb phrase, which follows the subject.
  3. "the founding father" is the complement, describing who Greenblatt is.
  4. "of New Historicism" specifies what Greenblatt is considered the founding father of, making it a prepositional phrase that follows the complement.

Thus, the sentence is logically ordered as:
"Greenblatt is considered the founding father of New Historicism."
