Correct answer: "They were tired after the long hike." This sentence is correct. It follows the standard English word order (subject-verb-adjective-prepositional phrase) and effectively conveys the idea that "they" were tired following the long hike.

Explanation:

"After the long hike, tired they were." This sentence has an inverted word order, which is grammatically incorrect.

"They were after the long hike tired." This sentence is grammatically incorrect as it sounds awkward due to the placement of "after the long hike." In English, adjectives generally come before the nouns they modify, so "tired" should be placed before "they were."

“Tired they were after the long hike”.

This is an incorrect sentence. English sentences typically follow a subject-verb-object (SVO) order. The more common and straightforward structure for this sentence would be "They were tired after the long hike," where the subject ("They") comes before the verb ("were") and the predicate adjective ("tired") follows.

Explanation: The answer is “out of reach”. The phrase "in other words" means that the second part of the sentence should provide a restatement of the first part. In this case, the first part of the sentence says that the car was expensive. The second part of the sentence should provide a restatement of this, and the only answer choice that does this is option  “out of reach”

Correct answer: “They are planning a surprise party." This sentence is correct. It follows the standard subject-verb-object word order, where the subject ("They") comes before the verb ("are planning") and the object ("a surprise party") follows. This structure is clear, straightforward, and commonly used in English communication.

Explanation:

Party Are they planning a surprise." This sentence has incorrect word order. In English, questions typically follow a subject-verb order, like "Are they planning a surprise party?" However, this sentence lacks proper structure.

"Planning a surprise party, they are." This sentence is grammatically incorrect as it follows a less common word order.

"A surprise party they are planning." This sentence is grammatically incorrect as it follows a less common word order, where the subject is placed after the object.

Correct answer: “The students finished their assignments”. This sentence is correct. It follows the standard English word order (subject-verb-object) and effectively conveys the idea that "the students" completed their "assignments."

 

Explanation: "Assignments their the students finished." This sentence has incorrect word order. In English, the subject ("the students") should come before the verb ("finished"). Additionally, the placement of "their assignments" in the middle of the sentence disrupts the typical structure.

 

"Finished their assignments the students." This sentence has incorrect word order, placing the subject ("the students") after the verb ("finished"). This structure is less common in standard English and might sound unusual or archaic.

"Their assignments finished the students." This sentence has incorrect word order and lacks clarity. Placing "their assignments" at the beginning of the sentence makes the sentence unclear in terms of who or what finished the students.
