Question

Re-arrange the following parts of a sentence in their correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence. 
(A) because of the unexpected storm 
(B) the outdoor concert 
(C) was cancelled 
(D) at the last minute 
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• B. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• C. (B), (D), (C), (A).
• D. (A), (C), (B), (D).

Hint:

Sentences starting with “because” indicate cause first — place the action afterward for clarity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To arrange the given sentence parts into a meaningful sentence, we should identify the logical flow of ideas:

1. Identify the cause or reason: The sentence discusses a reason for an action, which starts with part (A) - "because of the unexpected storm." This indicates the cause.

2. Identify the subject: After establishing the cause, we need the subject involved in this scenario, which is part (B) - "the outdoor concert."

3. Identify the action: The next logical step is to describe what happened to the subject (action), which is part (C) - "was cancelled."

4. Determine the time: Finally, provide the timing or situation of the action, which is part (D) - "at the last minute."

By arranging these parts, the complete and coherent sentence is:

Because of the unexpected storm, the outdoor concert was cancelled at the last minute.

This order is represented by the option (A), (B), (C), (D).
