In the following questions, three words have been highlighted. These words may or may not be at their correct position. Following each question four possible arrangements are provided. Choose the arrangement that will make the given sentence contextually meaningful and grammatically correct as your answer.

The cat breaking (A) on the table and jumped (B) over the expensive vase, knocked (C) it as a result.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is B (BCA).

Explanation:

To find the correct arrangement, we need to look at the sequence of actions and the grammatical structure (specifically, the use of participles).

• Position (A) - "The cat breaking (A)": This is grammatically incorrect. A sentence starting with "The cat [verb-ing]" without an auxiliary verb (like "is" or "was") doesn't work as the primary action. We need a past tense verb here.
• Position (B) - "jumped (B) over...": This is a valid action, but if the cat "jumped" on the table first, it makes more sense as the starting point.
• Position (C) - "knocked (C) it as a result": The phrase "as a result" often follows a present participle (verb-ing) to show a consequence. "Knocked" is past tense, whereas breaking (A) fits better at the end of the sentence to describe the final state of the vase.

Correcting the Flow:

1. Jumped (B): The initial action. The cat jumped on the table.
2. Knocked (C): The second action in the sequence. While on the table, it knocked over the vase.
3. Breaking (A): The consequence. The vase fell, breaking it as a result.

Meanings of all words:

Jumped

• Meaning: To push oneself off a surface and into the air.
• Hindi Meaning: कूदा (Kooda)

Knocked

• Meaning: To strike a surface or to cause something to fall over by hitting it.
• Hindi Meaning: टकराया / गिरा दिया

Breaking

• Meaning: Separating into pieces as a result of a blow, shock, or strain.
• Hindi Meaning: टूटना / टूटते हुए

Final Correct Sentence:

"The cat jumped (B) on the table and knocked (C) over the expensive vase, breaking (A) it as a result."

Final Answer: B
