Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Option 2.
- 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.

- 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.
