Question

Find out which part of the sentence has an error.

• A. Seldom we have been treated
• B. In such a rude manner
• C. By the police personnel
• D. No error

Hint:

When using negative adverbs like “Seldom,” “Rarely,” “Hardly” at the beginning of a sentence, use inversion: auxiliary verb + subject.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Rule for inversion.
Adverbs like “Seldom” at the beginning require inversion: \[ \text{Correct: Seldom have we been treated...} \] “Seldom we have been…” is grammatically incorrect.
