Identify the sentence with correct inversion.

  • A. Never I have seen such a crowd.
  • B. Never have I seen such a crowd.
  • C. Never seen I have such a crowd.
  • D. Never I saw such a crowd.

Explanation

When a negative adverb such as never, seldom, rarely or hardly begins a sentence, the subject and auxiliary invert as they would in a question. The same applies to not only, no sooner and little did he know. Without the inversion the sentence is ungrammatical in formal English.
