Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose (D). "(A) Seldom (B) does the director (C) arrive late to meetings."

  1. (A) Seldom
  2. (B) does the director
  3. (C) arrive late to meetings.
  4. (D) No error

Answer

D. (D) No error

Solution

No error: a negative adverb such as "seldom" at the start correctly triggers inversion ("does the director arrive").
