Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To construct a coherent sentence from the parts provided, identify the logical sequence that conveys a complete thought.

Here are the segments to arrange:

• (A) because of the unexpected storm
• (B) the outdoor concert
• (C) was cancelled
• (D) at the last minute

We need to begin with part (A) "because of the unexpected storm" as it sets the cause. Next, (B) "the outdoor concert" introduces the subject of the sentence. Follow it with (C) "was cancelled," which is the action related to the subject. Finally, conclude with (D) "at the last minute" to describe when the action took place. The resulting sentence is:

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

Thus, the correct arrangement is:

• (A) "because of the unexpected storm,"
• (B) "the outdoor concert,"
• (C) "was cancelled,"
• (D) "at the last minute."
