Explain how your knowledge of the relevant language component (s) assisted you in correcting the structure. ​

Answer 1

The correct order of the sentence is:

I cannot imagine how happy he was after receiving the results

Step-by-step explanation:

The grammatical structure that helps to organize this sentence correctly is " embedded questions". This structure follows the pattern : introductory phrase + question word + embedded question (subject + verb).

introductory phrase: I cannot imagine

question word: how happy

embedded question: he was after receiving the results.

These words can get organized in a propper form as long as we know what part of speech represents each one of them.
