Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 (A, B, D, C) -> Starts with "a series of sharp hugs" which lacks context and ends awkwardly with the definition.
Option 2 (A, B, C, D) -> Begins without introducing what is being described, making it grammatically incorrect.
Option 3 (C, B, A, D) -> Starts with the definition "the Heimlich manoeuvre consists of embracing," followed by "a choking victim from behind and giving him/her," then "a series of sharp hugs just above the navel to force," ending with "out the blockage, like a cork from a bottle" - creates a complete, logical sentence.
Option 4 (B, C, D, A) -> Starts with "a choking victim" without proper context and breaks the logical flow.
Hence, Option 3: (C), (B), (A), (D) -> The complete sentence reads: "The Heimlich manoeuvre consists of embracing a choking victim from behind and giving him/her a series of sharp hugs just above the navel to force out the blockage, like a cork from a bottle." This follows proper sentence structure by introducing the subject first, then describing the procedure, and finally explaining its purpose with a vivid simile -> correct
