Correct Answer:
Option C —
The postman looked very tired at the end of the day
Breaking Down the Sentence Structure
To rearrange jumbled sentences, it helps to identify the Subject, the Verb, and the Object/Adverbial Phrase:
Subject: Who is the sentence about? (The postman)
Verb: What did the subject do or how did they appear? (looked)
Adjectives/Adverbs: How did he look? (very tired)
Time/Place: When did this happen? (at the end of the day)
Why the others are incorrect:
Option A: The grammar is scrambled and doesn't follow a logical "Subject + Verb" order.
Option B: This suggests that the "tiredness" itself was looking at the day, which doesn't make sense.
Option D: This personifies the "day," suggesting the day was tired and looking at the postman.
The Logical Result:
"The postman (Subject) looked (Verb) very tired (Adjective phrase) at the end of the day (Time phrase)."
