In each of the questions below, a grammatically correct and coherent sentence is divided into four segments labeled (A), (B), (C), and (D). You are required to arrange these segments in the proper sequence to form a meaningful sentence. If the sentence is already correct or cannot be rearranged, choose (e) 'No rearrangement required' as your option.
and reconciliation across cultures (A) / has been recognized (B) / the olive branch (C) / as a symbol of peace, harmony (D).
Correct Answer :
CBDA
Solution :
The correct option is CBDA.
To arrange the given sentence segments in a meaningful sequence, let us analyze each segment and its grammatical role:
1. Segment (C): "the olive branch" serves as the main subject of the sentence, making it the ideal starting segment.
2. Segment (B): "has been recognized" is the passive verb phrase that naturally follows the subject.
3. Segment (D): "as a symbol of peace, harmony" functions as a prepositional phrase explaining what the subject is recognized as.
4. Segment (A): "and reconciliation across cultures" uses the conjunction "and" to extend the list starting with "peace, harmony" and complete the clause.
Connecting the segments in the order (C) → (B) → (D) → (A) forms a complete, grammatically correct, and meaningful sentence:
"The olive branch has been recognized as a symbol of peace, harmony and reconciliation across cultures."
Therefore, the correct sequence is CBDA.
