Rearrange the following parts in the correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence.

  1. (A) library, dust motes swirled in beams of golden

  4. (D) light, guarding the untold stories locked
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> (B), (C), (A), (D) - Starts with "within" and ends with "locked," leaving the sentence incomplete and awkward.

Option 2 -> (C), (D), (A), (B) - Creates "abandoned light" and "locked library," breaking logical connections and making no sense.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - Starts with "within" and creates "pages library," disrupting the flow and ending with "abandoned."

Option 4 -> (C), (A), (D), (B) - Forms: "In the hushed stillness of the abandoned library, dust motes swirled in beams of golden light, guarding the untold stories locked within the fragile, timeworn pages." - Perfect grammatical structure and logical flow.


Hence, Option 4: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> This sequence creates a complete, poetic sentence that begins with a scene-setting prepositional phrase, establishes the main subject and action (dust motes swirling), and concludes with a descriptive purpose clause about the stories locked in the pages. All word breaks (abandoned-library, golden-light, locked-within) connect naturally. -> correct
