Choose the option which provides the correct way to rearrange the words to form a grammatically and contextually meaningful sentence. If no change is required, mark 'No change required' as your answer.

1.ACDB
2.BACD
3.DABC
4.ACBD
5.No change required
Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
A and D are correct at their respective places but C needs to be interchanged with B because 'overhang' [a part of something that extends or hangs over something else] is inappropriate at place C as 'cabinets' is a noun and nouns are usually modified by adjectives but 'overhang' is not an adjective [it is a verb/noun]. So the adjective 'taller', when placed at C, would make the sentence correct by modifying the noun 'cabinet'. Also, the noun form of 'overhang' is apt to use after the definite article 'the' which would make the noun phrase 'overhang lightning'.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
