Which out of the following statements is correct?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) - Seldom does she attend the theatre class.
- "Seldom" is a negative adverb and when placed at the beginning of a sentence, it requires inversion (i.e., the auxiliary verb "does" comes before the subject "she").
OTHER OPTIONS
-
"She is seldom attending the theatre class." (Incorrect)
- "Seldom" is not typically used with continuous tenses.
-
"Seldom she attends the theatre class." (Incorrect)
- The correct order should be "Seldom does she attend..." due to inversion.
-
"She attends the theatre class seldom." (Incorrect)
- While this is grammatically possible, "seldom" is typically used at the beginning or before the main verb in formal writing.
