Answer 1

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.
