Choose the most logical order of the words from among the four given choices to construct a sentence:
A) in his coat pocket.
B) he forget
C) Lest
D) she put the key
DSSSB PGT - 2023,
Answer: C
The sentence uses the structure 'Lest he forget, she put the key in his coat pocket'. 'Lest' (C) introduces the fear or the purpose, followed by the subject and the verb 'he forget' (B), which is in the base form as the word lest requires. The main clause 'she put the key' (D) follows, and the place 'in his coat pocket' (A) closes it. So the order is C, B, D, A. The other orders put the place or the main clause before 'lest', and they do not make a sentence. The answer is CBDA, option C.
