Parts of a sentence are given below in jumbled order. Select the option that arranges the parts in the correct order to form a meaningful sentence.
A) said that they are
B) hear this news
C) very sorry to
D) Catherine and David
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. D, A, C, B.
"Catherine and David" is the proper noun, making it the subject. So, the sentence must start with D.
So, next comes A because it states what Catherine and David are doing.
CB is a pair as these two have parts of the infinitive "to hear".
The correct sequence is: D → A → C → B
Final Sentence: Catherine and David said that they are very sorry to hear this news.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
