Rearrange the following parts into a meaningful sentence:

(C) the exact period in which
(D) cannot be ascertained due to
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> "The writer lived and worked the exact period in which lack of substantial evidence cannot be ascertained due to" - grammatically incorrect and illogical.
Option 2 -> "The exact period in which cannot be ascertained due to lack of substantial evidence the writer lived and worked" - awkward structure with misplaced phrases.
Option 3 -> "The exact period in which the writer lived and worked cannot be ascertained due to lack of substantial evidence" - grammatically correct with proper subject-verb agreement and logical flow.
Option 4 -> "The writer lived and worked lack of substantial evidence cannot be ascertained due to the exact period in which" - fragmented structure with no coherent meaning.
Hence, Option 3: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> This arrangement creates a grammatically sound sentence where "the exact period" serves as the subject, "the writer lived and worked" acts as a relative clause modifier, and "cannot be ascertained due to lack of substantial evidence" completes the predicate logically -> correct
