CBAD

Identifying Sentence Parts for Arrangement

The task is to arrange the given sentence parts into a coherent and grammatically correct sentence. Let's first identify the components:

  • (C) Mr. Sharma: This is the main subject of the sentence.
  • (B) reached: This is the verb, indicating the action.
  • (A) to the office: This phrase specifies the destination or place.
  • (D) at 9 am: This phrase indicates the time of the action.

Arranging Sentence Parts Correctly

A standard English sentence structure typically follows the order: Subject - Verb - Object/Complement - Adverbials. When using multiple adverbials, such as place and time, the usual order is Place then Time.

Let's examine the sequence provided in the correct option (CBAD):

  1. C: Mr. Sharma (Subject)
  2. B: reached (Verb)
  3. A: to the office (Place Adverbial)
  4. D: at 9 am (Time Adverbial)

Putting these together results in the sentence:

Mr. Sharma reached to the office at 9 am.

This sequence adheres to the conventional grammatical structure, making it the correct arrangement.

Understanding Sentence Structure Basics

The order CBAD works because it correctly places the sentence components:

  • The subject ('Mr. Sharma') correctly starts the sentence.
  • The verb ('reached') follows the subject.
  • The phrase indicating place ('to the office') logically follows the verb.
  • The phrase indicating time ('at 9 am') is placed at the end, which is standard practice for time adverbials.

Thus, the arrangement CBAD creates a clear and grammatically sound sentence.
