Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: b-a-d-c — This assembles into the complete sentence: his passport would be confiscated by the authority if he cannot provide the required documents in time.
Explanation:
Start with 'his passport would be' because it provides the subject and the auxiliary needed to form the passive verb phrase.
Follow with 'confiscated by the authority if' to complete the passive verb phrase and introduce the conditional 'if'.
Continue with 'he cannot provide the' which supplies the subject and verb for the conditional clause.
Finish with 'required documents in time' to provide the object and time reference for the conditional clause.
Putting the parts together yields a grammatical and meaningful sentence: his passport would be confiscated by the authority if he cannot provide the required documents in time.
