C. 4-1-5-2-7-3-8-6
D. 4-5-1-2-7-8-6-3

Jawaban: C

Dilihat dari susunan katanya, kalimat di atas termasuk kalimat imperative. Karena itu, kalimat diawali dengan kata kerja bentuk pertama, yaitu thank. Kata ini tidak terpisahkan untuk membentuk frasa thank you yang akan diikuti kata sambung for. Setelah for kata yang dibutuhkan adalah gerund (smoking). Namun, karena ada penanda negatif not, maka not diletakkan sebelum gerund. Kalimat diakhiri dengan frasa adverbial yang menunjukkan tempat in this area. Jadi, kalimat yang tepat adalah Thank you for not smoking in this area.
