Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. BDAFEC.

"The shelf in" (B) and "the kitchen" (D) together describe the subject of the sentence. This sets up the context for the whole sentence.

"needs to be" (A) connects the subject with the action.

"replaced, so I will" (F) gives the reason for the action.

"need to buy" (E) introduces the solution.

"a piece of wood" (C) completes the sentence by identifying what is required.

Hence, the correct sentence is- The shelf in the kitchen needs to be replaced, so I will need to buy a piece of wood.
