Correct option is A

The correct answer is A (ACB).

Explanation:

To find the correct arrangement, we must look at the logical relationship between the actions (verbs) and the objects (students, hands, participation).

  • Position (A) - "The teacher asked (A)": This is correct. Teachers typically "ask" or "instruct" students to do something.
  • Position (B) - "to invite (B) their hands": This is incorrect. You do not "invite" your hands. In a classroom setting, when a teacher wants participation, students raise their hands. Therefore, raise (C) should move here.
  • Position (C) - "to raise (C) more participation": This is incorrect. While you can "encourage" participation, you "invite" it. Moving invite (B) here completes the sentence logically: the goal of raising hands is to invite (request or encourage) more students to participate.

Sentence Structure:

[The teacher asked (A)] + [the students to raise (C)] + [their hands to invite (B)] + [more participation].

Meanings of all words:
