The correct answer is Option 2.
 
Key Points
  • The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect placement of the word "shown".
  • The correct placement should be "picture shown", indicating that the picture was the one being presented.
  • The phrase "from the shown picture" is grammatically awkward and less clear.
  • Thus, the correct phrase is "from the picture shown", making option 2 the correct choice.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
 
Correct Sentence: "From the picture shown, it was clear that the landscape was a stunning blend of mountains, rivers and vibrant greenery."
 
Additional Information
  • 1: "From the shown is picture" – This option is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense.
  • 3: "From the picture was shown" – This option is also grammatically incorrect and changes the intended meaning.
  • 4: "From the picture is shown" – This option changes the tense of the sentence and is not consistent with the rest of the sentence.
