The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

The given sentence fragments need to be rearranged to form a coherent and meaningful sentence. To achieve this: 

  1. Identify a logical starting point, typically featuring the main subject or action. Here, "(D) scientists analyzing the skull of" is an appropriate starting clause indicating the initiating action.
  2. The next part should logically follow, providing additional information about the subject. "(C) the prehistoric herbivore’s front" continues from (D), specifying what the scientists are analyzing.
  3. This should be followed by (B) "bite was as strong as a tiger’s," which gives an extraordinary result of the study.
  4. Finally, wrap up with (A) "the largest known rodent have determined that," which concludes with the clarification of determination in context.

Put together, the most logical and meaning-filled sequence is:

Scientists analyzing the skull of the prehistoric herbivore’s front bite was as strong as a tiger’s the largest known rodent have determined that.

Therefore, the correct arrangement is: (D), (A), (C), (B).

Approach Solution -2

Correct Sentence Sequence 

Complete Sentence:

Scientists analyzing the skull of the prehistoric herbivore’s front bite have determined that it was as strong as a tiger’s.

Correct Sequence: (D) → (C) → (B) → (A)

Option 2 is correct. ✔️

Breakdown of Each Part:

  • (D)“Scientists analyzing the skull...”
    Introduces who is conducting the study and what they are studying.
  • (C)“...of the prehistoric herbivore’s front bite...”
    Adds detail to what part of the skull is being studied.
  • (B)“...have determined...”
    Indicates the scientists reached a conclusion.
  • (A)“...that it was as strong as a tiger’s.”
    Completes the thought with the finding about bite strength.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Other sequences fail to preserve the logical and grammatical flow from subject to object to conclusion. Option 2 is the only one that presents a coherent and fluent scientific statement.
