Question

a. it was announced on the evening news that the president will visit our city.

b. the president will visit our city announced on the evening news.

c. our city announced that the president will visit on the evening news.

d. announced on the evening news, the president will visit our city.

Answer 1

The answer is A. Good luck!

Answer 2

The correct answer is "A".

The object of the sentence, which is the evening news, and its subsequent action of informing should be a preamble to the information which the evening news is trying to give. Otherwise, there is a displacement in the order of events in the sentence, as the reader does not effectively know what is the media which is announcing this.
