Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Rarely have I seen such a beautiful scene.
Concept: Subject-Auxiliary Inversion.

Formula:
$$\text{Negative/Limiting Adverb} + \text{Auxiliary Verb} + \text{Subject} + \text{Main Verb}$$

Solution: When a sentence begins with a restrictive adverb like 'Rarely', subject-auxiliary inversion is mandatory: Rarely + have (auxiliary) + I (subject) + seen (main verb).

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option A: Fails to invert the auxiliary verb before the subject.

  • Option C: Misplaces the main verb before the subject.

  • Option D: Distorts standard auxiliary and main verb order.
