a. in the library, josephine read the children a story about a whale.
b. josephine read a story about children to a whale in the library.
c. josephine read a story about a whale in the library to the children.
d. in the library josephine read a story about a whale, to the children.

The answer to your question would be that the most effective substitute for the sentence is the following one: In the library, josephine read the children a story about a whale.  That is, the correct option would be A.

Explanation:

The revised version of the sentence includes an introductory phrase with the prepositional phrase (in the library). Sentence B makes it seem as if Josephine read to a whale about children. Then, sentence C separates the indirect object from the direct object (about a whale in the library to the children), which makes the construction sound odd. Finally, D is written incorrectly, there shouldn't be a comma before to.

yeah, i think its a good thing what do you think?

d is the best answer for this question.
