The question below consists of a set of labelled sentence fragments X, Y and Z. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the fragments to form a coherent sentence: Some of these X - height of more than Y - 2000 feet above the sea Z - rocks rise to the.

Introduction / Context:
This sentence arrangement question requires you to reorder the fragments X, Y and Z to produce a meaningful description of rocks and their height. The resulting sentence should be grammatically correct and logically describe some rocks that rise to a height of more than 2000 feet above sea level.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Prompt: “Some of these X - height of more than Y - 2000 feet above the sea Z - rocks rise to the.”
• Fragments:
  • X: height of more than
  • Y: 2000 feet above the sea
  • Z: rocks rise to the
• The opening phrase “Some of these” is fixed at the beginning.
• We must choose an order that yields a clear, natural English sentence.

Concept / Approach:
The intended full sentence is: “Some of these rocks rise to the height of more than 2000 feet above the sea.” To achieve this, “Some of these” must be followed by Z (“rocks rise to the”), then by X (“height of more than”), and finally by Y (“2000 feet above the sea”). This order respects both normal subject verb object structure and the standard way we talk about measurements in English: rise to the height of more than 2000 feet above the sea.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Begin with the given start: “Some of these …”Ask what the subject is: it should be “rocks”, so the next fragment must be Z: “Some of these rocks rise to the …”After “rise to the”, we expect a phrase that begins with height of more than, so X should come next.Attach X: “Some of these rocks rise to the height of more than …”Finally, complete the measurement using Y: “2000 feet above the sea.”Thus, the correct order is Z X Y, which corresponds to option ZXY.

Verification / Alternative check:
Read the reconstructed sentence: “Some of these rocks rise to the height of more than 2000 feet above the sea.” The sentence is grammatically sound and communicates a clear idea about the elevation of the rocks. If we try alternative orders, such as YZX or XZY, we get broken phrases like “Some of these 2000 feet above the sea rocks rise to the height of more than,” which is obviously incorrect and unnatural.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
YZX would give “Some of these 2000 feet above the sea rocks rise to the height of more than,” which misplaces the measurement fragment and disrupts sentence flow. YXZ and XZY similarly create awkward structures where the verb phrase “rocks rise to the” is not placed directly after the subject “Some of these rocks,” or the measurement fragments are disordered, breaking the natural pattern “height of more than 2000 feet above the sea.” Only ZXY respects both grammar and meaning.

Common Pitfalls:
In such questions, students often try to start directly with numerical fragments because numbers stand out visually. However, English sentences usually follow a subject + verb + complement pattern. Always identify the subject (rocks), the main verb phrase (rise to the) and then attach measurement phrases logically. Recognising common collocations like “height of more than 2000 feet above the sea” also guides you towards the correct order ZXY.

Final Answer:
The most logical order of the fragments is ZXY, forming the sentence: “Some of these rocks rise to the height of more than 2000 feet above the sea.”
