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:
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'Horse has hurt the itself', is incorrect as it uses ‘the’ in front of a pronoun. Articles are not used in front of pronouns.
Option (b.), ‘Itself has the horse hurt', is incorrect as it does not follow the basic order of the words in sentences, which is subject (horse) + verb (hurt) + object (itself).
Option (c.), ‘The horse has hurt itself', is correct as it follows the basic order of the words in sentences, which is subject (horse) + verb (hurt) + object (itself).
Option (d.), ‘Hurt itself has the horse', is incorrect as it does not follow the basic order of the words in sentences, which is subject (horse) + verb (hurt) + object (itself).

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.
