Answer Key and Explanations

Q1 – Correct: A
‣ Sentence follows the natural Cebuano order: verb Ibutang + actor ninyo + object + place.
‣ B starts with ninyo before a verb, leaving the clause hanging.
‣ C scrambles the object phrase and separates noun and article.

Q2 – Correct: B
‣ Verb Bayaran + actor ninyo + object + time gives a clear statement.
‣ A fronts ninyo and splits it from the verb; the flow is broken.
‣ C inserts ninyo inside the object phrase, so the verb and actor are apart.

Q3 – Correct: C
‣ Negative marker Wala pa + actor ninyo + verb mahuman + object is the expected sequence.
‣ A begins with ninyo and omits the verb connector, sounding incomplete.
‣ B jumbles subject, verb, and actor, making the sentence confusing.

Q4 – Correct: B
‣ Verb Gitabangan + actor ninyo + object + time results in a smooth clause.
‣ A places ninyo between subject and verb, disrupting agreement.
‣ C fronts the time phrase and pushes the object ahead of the verb, creating an awkward inversion.

Q5 – Correct: A
‣ Main verb Gusto + actor ninyo + infinitive paliton + objects is logical and clear.
‣ B swaps verb positions; the sentence loses coherence.
‣ C separates ninyo from the verb it governs, so the relationship is unclear.
