Question

Choose the correct option to arrange the words in the jumbled sentence to make it meaningful. 
An interesting book / by my friend / to me / was given.
 A _ _ _ _ B _ _ _ _ C _ _ _ _ D

• A. BACD
• B. ADCB
• C. ADBC
• D. ACDB

Hint:

In passive voice, the object becomes the subject and the agent phrase with “by” often comes at the end.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
A meaningful passive voice sentence can be arranged as: \[ \text{Subject}+\text{passive verb}+\text{recipient}+\text{agent} \]

Step 1: Identify the subject. The subject is: \[ \text{An interesting book} \] So part \(A\) comes first.

Step 2: Identify the passive verb. The verb phrase is: \[ \text{was given} \] So part \(D\) comes after the subject.

Step 3: Identify recipient and agent. The recipient is: \[ \text{to me} \] The agent is: \[ \text{by my friend} \] So the order is: \[ A+D+C+B \]

Step 4: Complete sentence. \[ \text{An interesting book was given to me by my friend.} \]

Step 5: Final answer. \[ \boxed{\text{ADCB}} \]
