D: but killed by him
E: she was all
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BACED.
Logical flow:
B: This is the starting part – it introduces the subject and the passive action: 'the lady was compelled...'
A: This follows smoothly – explains what she was compelled 'by the doctor to drink'.
C: Now the sentence gives more detail about what she was made to drink – 'such a vile medicine that...'
E: The result of drinking such vile medicine is shared – 'she was all...' (used as a setup to the final part).
D: Finally, we get the conclusion – 'but killed by him', which gives the sentence a twist.
Final sentence: The lady was compelled by the doctor to drink such a vile medicine that she was all but killed by him.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
