The question below consists of a set of labelled sentence fragments. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the fragments to form a coherent sentence: We entered, and X had been assigned Y to each of us Z found that a hut.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests your ability to rearrange labelled fragments of a sentence into a coherent and grammatically correct order. Such para-jumble or sentence arrangement tasks appear frequently in competitive exams to measure understanding of syntax, logical flow, and narrative structure. Here, you need to reconstruct a sentence describing what happened when "we" entered a place and discovered that huts had been allotted to each person.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The fixed part is "We entered, and".
• The fragments are: X: had been assigned Y: to each of us Z: found that a hut
• We must arrange X, Y, and Z after "We entered, and" to form a meaningful continuation.
• The options give different orders of these three fragments.
• The final sentence should be grammatically correct and logically sequenced.

Concept / Approach:
First, identify the main clause subject and verb. "We entered, and" suggests another action performed by "we", most likely starting with a verb such as "found". Thus, the next fragment should begin with "found", which appears in Z: "found that a hut". After that, we need to complete the idea by explaining what was found, namely that a hut had been assigned to each of us. This suggests that "had been assigned" (X) and "to each of us" (Y) should follow, in that order, to give a natural structure: "found that a hut had been assigned to each of us". The logical order is therefore Z–X–Y, which corresponds to option ZXY.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Start with the given opening: "We entered, and". This is followed by another action by the same subject "we". Step 2: Identify which fragment can function as the main verb phrase after "and". Fragment Z begins with "found that a hut", making it a natural continuation: "We entered, and found that a hut...". Step 3: Now attach fragment X: "had been assigned". This fits next to complete the clause, giving "found that a hut had been assigned...". Step 4: Finally, add fragment Y: "to each of us". The phrase "assigned to each of us" is a standard collocation. Step 5: Putting it all together: "We entered, and found that a hut had been assigned to each of us." Step 6: Confirm that the order of fragments used was Z, then X, then Y. Step 7: Match this sequence to the provided options; ZXY corresponds to option C in the list given in the question.

Verification / Alternative check:
Compare with other possible orders. For example, XZY would result in "We entered, and had been assigned found that a hut to each of us", which is ungrammatical and illogical. YZX would give "We entered, and to each of us found that a hut had been assigned", which is awkward and ungrammatical. Only ZXY yields a smooth, narrative sentence that a native speaker would naturally produce. This confirms that ZXY is the correct order.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
"YZX": Starting with "to each of us" after "and" leaves the sentence without a main verb, leading to confusion. "YXZ": "to each of us had been assigned found that a hut" breaks normal English word order and does not produce a coherent clause. "XZY": "had been assigned found that a hut" places the past participle phrase in the wrong position and separates it from its logical object "to each of us". Any order that does not begin with the verb phrase "found that a hut" after "We entered, and" fails to produce a natural-sounding sentence.

Common Pitfalls:
A common mistake in such questions is to focus only on the meaning of fragments without considering which can grammatically follow the conjunction "and". Another pitfall is ignoring subject–verb placement and simply choosing the order that subjectively sounds interesting. A systematic approach is to first locate the main verb fragment, attach auxiliary or passive structures around it, and then add prepositional phrases like "to each of us" at the end. This method helps avoid confusion and leads to the correct arrangement.

Final Answer:
The most logical order of the fragments is ZXY, giving the sentence "We entered, and found that a hut had been assigned to each of us".
