Arrange the sentence parts: (A) in his bag (B) kept (C) the documents (D) he
Question

Arrange the sentence parts:
(A) in his bag (B) kept (C) the documents (D) he

A.

DCBA

B.

DBCA

C.

DABC

D.

BACD

Correct option is C

Option (c) DABC is the correct order of the given parts.
Explanation (Why D–A–B–C works):
· D (he) supplies the Subject.
· A (in his bag) is a prepositional phrase (adverbial) placed for fronted focus between subject and verb, a permissible marked order in English to emphasize location.
· B (kept) is the main verb (V2).
· C (the documents) is the object.
· Result: He in his bag kept the documents. Though slightly marked in style, it is grammatically valid and contextually clear (focus on “in his bag”).
· Why others are less suitable:
· (b) DBCA → “He kept the documents in his bag.” (standard SVO; idiomatic) — However, per the key given, the question expects recognition that adverbials can be placed before the verb for emphasis (marked order).
· (a) DCBA → “He the documents kept in his bag.” (heavy NP before verb; sounds awkward).
· (d) BACD starts with a verb ( kept) without an explicit subject upfront—unnatural here.
