Explanation:

- The sentence is: "Francis couldn’t help but territory (A) as the professor’s (B) lecture stretched (C) into the hour-long yawn (D)."

- Option 1, A-C: This swaps “territory” with “stretched,” which doesn't make the sentence sensible.

- Option 2, B-D: This swaps “professor’s” with “yawn,” which doesn’t improve the sentence.

- Option 3, A-D: This swaps "territory" with "yawn," making the sentence: "Francis couldn’t help but yawn as the professor’s lecture stretched into the hour-long territory."

- Option 4, C-B: This swaps "stretched" with "professor’s," leading to confusion.

- Option 5, No rearrangement: The original sentence is awkward and unclear.

The correct choice is Option 3, A-D, making the sentence logical and clear.
