English Structure
…………… made after English settlers came to Jamestown was a map of Virginia by John Smith, the famous adventure. (A) It was the first map (B) The first map (C) There was a first map (D) That the first map Choice (A) will give the version: It was the first map made after English settlers came to Jamestown was a map of Virginia by John Smith, the famous adventure. Leaving out the phrase “after English settlers came to Jamestown", we get the sentence: “it was the first map…………was a map of Virginia". Obviously, the presence of two predicates in this sentence makes it grammatically incorrect. Choice (B) results in the sentence: The first map made after English settlers came to Jamestown was a map of Virginia by John Smith, the famous adventure. This is a grammatically correct sentence and this choice can be chosen as the answer. Choice (C) also results in a sentence with two predicates: There was a first map……was a map of Virginia. This sentence is a wrong one and this choice is also not the answer. Choice (D) gives the version: That the first map …… was a map of Virginia. This is not a full sentence at all. So, (D) is also wrong. So, we can choose (B) as the answer.
