Explanation:

Let's analyze the sentence and the options:

- The original sentence is "Our encounter (A) with the shark was the first great befallen (B) that had danger (C) us since landing (D) on this island."

- "Befallen" (B) is a past participle verb, typically used to describe something that happened to someone, not used as a noun.

- "Danger" (C) is a noun, and it fits well as the subject of the clause "had us since landing on this island."

- The phrase should be "danger that had befallen us," which means we need to switch B and C.

So the correct sentence should be: "Our encounter with the shark was the first great danger (C) that had befallen (B) us since landing on this island."

- Option 1: B-C seems to be the correct rearrangement of the words.

Option 1 is correct.
