  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Rearrange the following sentence in the correct order:
    a. citrus fruits,
    b. a long growing season
    c. and lemons, require
    d. for example, oranges
    Solution

    All sentences are about someone or something, and this person or thing becomes the subject of a sentence. The subject, which is a noun/pronoun, usually appears at the beginning of a sentence to highlight the focus. In the given sentence, the subject has to be ‘Citrus fruits’, since the whole sentence speaks about it. Therefore ‘a’ should appear first. Since ‘Citrus fruits” is followed by a comma it suggests the inclusion of additional information that is not part of the main idea and instead is an additional information. Examples are commonly presented in an above-mentioned way. Therefore ‘d’ could be the apt phrase, that should follow the subject. Further since ‘oranges’ is one of the two examples of citrus fruits it needs to be succeeded by ‘c’ which completes the meaning and also introduces the main verb which helps connect the subject and the predicate, which is ‘b’. Hence the order of the sentence should be ‘a-d-c-b’, so option D is correct, 'Citrus fruits, for example, oranges and lemons, require a long growing season'. Whereas options A, B and C are incorrect.
