Rearrange the parts to form a meaningful sentence: (A) Murugan noticed that both the women (B) as he made his way across the hall (C) over their neatly worn silk sarees (D) had press tags pinned to their shoulders Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Places "over their neatly worn silk sarees" between the subject and main verb, disrupting the sentence flow.
Option 2 -> Creates a smooth narrative: "As he made his way across the hall, Murugan noticed that both the women had press tags pinned to their shoulders over their neatly worn silk sarees" - logically describes the observation sequence.
Option 3 -> Incorrectly positions "over their neatly worn silk sarees" before introducing Murugan and the women, causing confusion.
Option 4 -> Completely scrambles the sentence structure, making it grammatically incorrect and meaningless.
Hence, Option 2: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> The sentence follows natural narrative order: the temporal clause (as he walked), the subject and observation (Murugan noticed), what was noticed (press tags on shoulders), and finally the descriptive detail (over their sarees) -> correct
