|---|---|
| Answer | 4 |
| a | Who had been sleeping during the flight the man woke up. |
| b | The man during the flight who had been sleeping woke up. |
| c | The man woke up who had been sleeping during the flight. |
| d | The man who had been sleeping during the flight woke up. |
| comment | The subject is normally placed before the predicate. Note, that very often the subject is not a single word. Here: 'The man who had been sleeping during the flight' - is the subject. Then, you should pay attention to the word order inside this phrase: the man - is on the first place and relative clause with 'who' follows it. |
