Question:

Which out of the following statements is correct?

Options:

Seldom does she attend the theatre class.

She is seldom attending the theatre class.

Seldom she attends the theatre class.

She attends the theatre class seldom.

Correct Answer:

Seldom does she attend the theatre class.

Explanation:

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

  1. "She is seldom attending the theatre class."  (Incorrect)

    • "Seldom" is not typically used with continuous tenses.
  2. "Seldom she attends the theatre class." (Incorrect)

    • The correct order should be "Seldom does she attend..." due to inversion.
  3. "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.
