Rearrange the given parts in the correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence:

(A) providing a platform for scientific experiments

(B) the International Space Station orbits Earth

(C) and fostering international space cooperation efforts

(D) at an altitude of about 400 kilometers

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> Forms a grammatically correct sentence with the main clause followed by location detail and two parallel participial phrases connected by "and"

Option 2: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> Begins incorrectly with "and" and creates an illogical sequence with disconnected phrases

Option 3: (D), (C), (A), (B) -> Places the location at the beginning awkwardly and disrupts the natural flow of the sentence

Option 4: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Starts with "and" which is grammatically incorrect and separates the two related participial phrases


Hence, Option 1: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> This creates the sentence: "The International Space Station orbits Earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers providing a platform for scientific experiments and fostering international space cooperation efforts." The sequence follows proper sentence structure with the main clause (B), location modifier (D), and two parallel functions (A) and (C) connected by "and" -> correct
