Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The original sentence awkwardly places a relative clause between 'delegated' and its object 'a task'. Option B restructures the sentence more clearly: 'who was an effective administrator too' modifies 'The manager', followed by the main clause. This creates better flow and clarity.
