Question

Choose the correct option to arrange the words in the jumbled sentence to make it meaningful.

\[ \text{By all the people / is always / respected / an honest man.} \]
\[ \text{A \_ \_ \_ \_ B \_ \_ \_ \_ C \_ \_ \_ \_ D} \]

• A. BADC
• B. BCAD
• C. DBCA
• D. ACBD

Hint:

In jumbled passive sentences, identify the real subject first and place the “by” phrase at the end.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
A meaningful passive voice sentence generally follows: \[ \text{Subject}+\text{helping verb}+\text{adverb}+\text{past participle}+\text{by phrase} \]

Step 1: Identify the subject. The subject is: \[ \text{an honest man} \] So part \(D\) comes first.

Step 2: Arrange the verb phrase. The phrase: \[ \text{is always respected} \] is formed by parts: \[ B+C \]

Step 3: Add the agent phrase. The agent phrase is: \[ \text{By all the people} \] So part \(A\) comes at the end.

Step 4: Correct order. \[ D+B+C+A \]

Step 5: Complete sentence. \[ \text{An honest man is always respected by all the people.} \]

Step 6: Final answer. \[ \boxed{\text{DBCA}} \]
