Answer 1

Hint:Rearrange means arranging something or someone again in a different way or to put something back in its original order after it has been displaced.

Complete answer:
Here, in this question we have to arrange the following sentences into meaningful sentences and make it into a senseful order.
C is the first sequence because c is the only phrase that begins the sentence i.e. yesterday.
A is followed by C telling us that I bought i.e. yesterday something has bought by someone. So, the correct formation of sentences is ‘Yesterday I bought’.
B is followed by A because what the subject bought i.e. ‘a camera at the store’ means the subject bought a camera.
D is followed by B tells us why the subject bought a camera giving reason for buying i.e. to take the photograph of the parade.
So, the formation of the sentence so formed is: Yesterday I bought A camera at the store to photograph the parade.

Option A) c – a – b – d: is the correct answer because this sequence gives the complete meaning and sense. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option B) d – a – b – c: is an incorrect answer because this sequence does not give meaning in the sentence. The sentence so formed using this sequence is ‘To photograph the parade I bought a camera at the store yesterday’. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) a – d – c – b: is an incorrect answer because this sequence does not give meaning in the sentence. The sentence so formed using this sequence is ‘I bought to photograph the parade yesterday a camera at the store’. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) c – d - a – b: is an incorrect answer because this sequence does not give meaning in the sentence. The sentence so formed using this sequence is ‘Yesterday to photograph the parade I bought a camera at the store’. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:To rearrange something in a correct form or order. We must follow the rule: subject + functioning + preposition + object. So, option A is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option. So, option A is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option.
