Option 1 → (A), (D), (C), (B) - Starts with "in the good books" without a subject, making it grammatically incorrect.
Option 2 → (B), (A), (C), (D) - Creates "He has not been in the good books...and can never be" - leaves "and can never be" incomplete at the end.
Option 3 → (B), (D), (A), (C) - Forms "He has not been and can never be in the good books of his employer because he lacks honesty" - grammatically correct with proper flow.
Option 4 → (C), (A), (D), (B) - Begins with "because" and ends with the subject, creating a fragmented sentence.
Hence, Option 3: (B), (D), (A), (C) → This arrangement creates a complete, meaningful sentence: "He has not been and can never be in the good books of his employer because he lacks honesty." The sentence logically connects the subject (B), the compound predicate (D), the object (A), and the reason (C) → correct
