Correct option is C
The correct sequence is (c): Did you know that men commit four times as many driving offences as women do?
Explanation:
Subject: The sentence begins with "Did" (a question form). The subject is "you" {d} and "know" {c}, forming the question "Did you know...?"
Object of the verb: The information to complete the sentence begins after "Did you know...?" The next part explains what the person is being asked to know: "that men {e} commit {g} four times {f} as many {i} driving offences {b} as women do {j}."
This structure gives us:
· Intro: "Did you know...?"
· Main clause: "that men commit four times as many driving offences as women do."
Evaluating the options:
1. Option a:
· Sequence: a, d, c, e, f, i, h, g, k, j, b
· Sentence: "Did you know that men four times as many driving commit as women do offences?"
· Incorrect: "Driving commit" is not grammatical, and "offences" appears in the wrong place.
2. Option b:
· Sequence: a, d, e, k, f, i, h, b, g, j, c
· Sentence: "Did you that men as four times as many driving offences commit women do know?"
· Incorrect: This arrangement disrupts the structure of the sentence and places "know" at the end unnecessarily.
3. Option c:
· Sequence: a, d, c, e, g, f, i, h, b, k, j
· Sentence: "Did you know that men commit four times as many driving offences as women do?"
· Correct: This is a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence.
4. Option d:
· Sequence: a, d, b, e, f, i, h, c, g, k, j
· Sentence: "Did you offences that men four times as many driving know commit as women do?"
· Incorrect: "Offences" appears prematurely, and "know commit" is ungrammatical.
