SSC Stenographer - 10/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q26

Parts of a sentence are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the parts in the correct order to form a meaningful sentence.
A: lost all his teeth
B: cannot eat hard food
C: he has
D: consequently, he

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. CADB.

Let’s reconstruct the sentence logically:

C – 'he has'

A – 'lost all his teeth'

D – 'consequently, he'

B – 'cannot eat hard food'

When arranged:

He has lost all his teeth; consequently, he cannot eat hard food.

This sequence presents a clear cause-and-effect flow:

- “He has lost all his teeth” (cause)

- “consequently, he cannot eat hard food” (effect)

This mirrors common sentence structure and is confirmed in similar examples seen in grammar explanations
