Parts of a sentence are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the parts in the correct order to form a meaningful sentence.
(A) a lot
(B) my daily routine
(C) I have missed
(D) since my retirement
(E) at the workplace

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. CBEAD.

Logical flow:

  • C - 'I have missed' introduces the subject ('I') and the action ('have missed'). 

  • B - 'my daily routine' follows the verb phrase to explain what the person has missed. The object of the sentence is 'my daily routine.'

  • E - 'at the workplace'gives more detail about where the daily routine was missed — specifically at the workplace.

  • A - 'a lot' comes at the end of the sentence to emphasize the extent to which the daily routine was missed.

  • D - 'since my retirement' is a time reference, explaining when the action (missing the routine) started. It typically comes at the end of a sentence to clarify the time frame.

Correct sequence: C → B → E → A → D

Final sentence: I have missed my daily routine at the workplace a lot since my retirement.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
