Choose the grammatically correct sentence.

  • A.The harassed wife shot herself after bidding her husband the last goodbye with a gun.
  • B.The harassed wife with a gun shot herself after bidding her husband the last goodbye.
  • C.The harassed wife shot herself with a gun after bidding her husband the last goodbye
  • D.With a gun the harassed wife shot herself,after bidding her husband the last goodbye.

Answer: C

Correct answer: The harassed wife shot herself with a gun after bidding her husband the last goodbye

With a gun is the instrument of shot and belongs beside it; the farewell then follows in its own phrase.

Why the others fail:

  • Putting with a gun at the end makes the goodbye something said with a gun.
  • The harassed wife with a gun shot herself - this describes the wife rather than the shooting.
  • With a gun the harassed wife shot herself - grammatical, but the fronted instrument takes an emphasis the sentence does not call for.
