The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To rearrange the given parts into a meaningful sentence, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the subject and verb in each part:
    • C) "they finished": Subject - "they"; Verb - "finished"
    • A) "the match": this is the Object of the verb "finished"
    • D) "just in time": this is a Time Phrase indicating when the action was completed
    • B) "before the rain started": another Time Phrase giving context to the situation
  2. Arrange the parts logically as per the sequence of actions and context:
    • CADB:
      • C) "they finished" - subject and verb starting the sentence
      • A) "the match" - what was finished
      • D) "just in time" - describes the timeliness of completing the action
      • B) "before the rain started" - provides additional temporal context

Thus, the sentence formed is: "They finished the match just in time before the rain started."
