Sitting next to me, was an elderly lady, forty about probably

A probably about forty Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B about forty probably Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C forty about probably Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D forty probably about Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Although normally called an "adverb", probably is often used to modify an entire sentence - in which case it normally appears at the beginning (or the end, if it's "parenthetically" added after a comma)... Correct sentence is Sitting next to me, was an elderly lady,   about forty  probably
