Correct Answer :

Option A

ACB

ACB

Solution :

The correct option is ACB.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let's evaluate the given sentence and the placement of the jumbled words marked as (A), (B), and (C):
"Heavy snowfall (A) created problems for several station (B) departing from the central trains (C)."

1. Analyzing word (A) - "snowfall": The word "snowfall" logically describes the weather condition causing train delays. Therefore, position (A) is correct and remains unchanged.

2. Analyzing words (B) and (C) - "station" and "trains":
- The word "several" requires a plural noun to follow it. Therefore, "trains" (C) must follow "several" (i.e., "several trains").
- The adjective "central" modifies a location noun. Therefore, "station" (B) must follow "central" (i.e., "central station").

3. Swapping word (B) and word (C) corrects the grammar and meaning of the sentence, resulting in the order sequence ACB.

Corrected Sentence:
"Heavy snowfall created problems for several trains departing from the central station."

Hence, the correct option representing the proper sequence is ACB.
