Answer 1

Hint: The student should try to find the option which will make the given sequence a logical sequence, which includes a sequence marked by an orderly, logical, and aesthetically consistent relation of the parts of a sentence, or sentences themselves.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options includes
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'd-b-c-a', refers to ‘seldom did we have the opportunity to watch the television’.
Therefore, option (a.) is correct as In literary writing, seldom is sometimes put at the beginning of a sentence, followed by an auxiliary verb (did) and the subject (we).
Option (b.), ‘a-b-c-d', refers to ‘watch the television did we have that the opportunity to seldom’. Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as ‘seldom’ is not put at the beginning of the sentence.
Option (c.), ‘d-c-a-b', refers to ‘seldom the opportunity to watch the television did we have’.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as ‘seldom’ is not put at the beginning of the sentence.
Option (d.), ‘c-a-b-d', refers to ‘the opportunity to watch the television did we have seldom’.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as ‘seldom’ is not put at the beginning of the sentence.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of logical reasoning, as a question that requires a logical sequence needs logical reasoning to be used. Logical reasoning includes thinking that is capable of or reflecting the capability for correct and valid reasoning.
