Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct sentence: we should accommodate ourselves to the circumstances.
Start with the subject and modal verb we should.
Follow with the main verb accommodate.
Add the object ourselves to show who is affected by the action.
End with the prepositional phrase to the circumstances which modifies the verb.
Why other orders fail:
Placing the object before the subject and verb (e.g., starting with "ourselves") yields an unnatural and ungrammatical sequence.
Separating the preposition "to the" from "circumstances" breaks meaning; the two belong together at the end.
Keeping the correct subject-verb-object-prepositional phrase order produces a clear, grammatical sentence.
