In the question below, a sentence has been given which is divided into four parts. Choose the option that gives the correct rearrangement of the parts to form a grammatically and contextually meaningful sentence.

(A) the dancers could
(B) I was sceptical that
(C) enough to fill the arena
(D) engross an audience large

Correct option is D

Correct answer: D — BADC

Correct rearranged sentence

I was sceptical that the dancers could engross an audience large enough to fill the arena.

Explanation of the sequence B → A → D → C

Part B: “I was sceptical that”

·       This works as the introductory main clause.

·       The conjunction “that” signals that a subordinate clause will follow.

Part A: “the dancers could”

·       This provides the subject and modal verb of the subordinate clause introduced by “that.”

·       “Could” sets up the action that follows.

Part D: “engross an audience large”

·       This gives the main action and the object.

·       “Engross” logically follows “could.”

Part C: “enough to fill the arena”

·       This is a qualifying phrase that completes the idea by describing the size of the audience.

·       It correctly modifies “audience large.”

Why other sequences do not work

·       CDAB / ABDC / DCBA disrupt either:

o   the logical subject–verb order, or

o   the correct placement of qualifiers (“large enough”), making the sentence ungrammatical or awkward.

·       No rearrangement required is incorrect because the original order does not form a meaningful sentence.

Final answer

Option D — BADC
