Choose the grammatically correct sentence:

The correct answer is Option (2) → In no way can the small water tank on our roof supply all six flats.

“In no way” at the start:

• When a sentence starts with a negative phrase such as “In no way”, “Nowhere” or “Not once”, the helping verb comes before the subject.
• Here In no way can the small water tank puts “can” before the subject “the small water tank”.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: The magician at the school fete pulled strange something out of his hat. — Incorrect. The option says “strange something”. An adjective comes after “something”, “anything” or “nothing”.
Corrected: The magician at the school fete pulled something strange out of his hat.

Option 3: The shopkeeper did not have no change for my hundred-rupee note. — Incorrect. The option says “did not have no change”. One negative word is enough. “Not” and “no” together make a double negative.
Corrected: The shopkeeper did not have any change for my hundred-rupee note.

Option 4: Mrinal drinks always a glass of warm milk before bed. — Incorrect. The option says “drinks always”. “Always” comes before the main verb.
Corrected: Mrinal always drinks a glass of warm milk before bed.
