Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is a group of words arranged in a particular sequence who form a meaning. Example: You look tired, take some rest. If the sequence of the words in a sentence is not correct, the meaning of the sentence becomes incorrect or abrupt. Example: tired look at you, rest some take.
The structure of a sentence is subject+verb+object. We will look for an option that follows this format of a sentence. All the sentences do not necessarily contain an object depending on the nature of the verb. Transitive verbs like appear, die etc. do not need an object.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct answer with the help of the above stated hint.
What your parents say listen to: This sentence is grammatically incorrect and doesn’t follow the correct structure of a sentence. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Your parents say listen to what: This sentence is grammatically incorrect and doesn’t follow the correct structure of a sentence. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Listen to what your parents say: This sentence is grammatically correct and is in the right form of a sentence. Therefore, this is the correct option.

Say what your parents listen to: This sentence is grammatically incorrect and doesn’t follow the correct structure of a sentence. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: Jumbled words are a group of words put together randomly without any order. Example: Drive | long | go | let’s |for
The correct order of the sentence will be “Let’s-go for a long drive”. Correct sequence is required to interpret the correct meaning of a sentence.
