Direction: Identify the error if any in (A), (B), (C) part of the sentence. If there is no error, your answer is (D).

Never once (A)/I have seen (B)/such a beautiful sight (C)./ No error (D)

The correct answer is Option 2)

Key Points

• In the first part of the given sentence, the word order is incorrect.
• The correct structure should be 'Never once have I seen'.
• In English, certain adverbs, especially negative adverbs like 'never', often trigger inversion in the sentence structure.
  • Example: Never have I felt so happy.

Hence, the correct statement is: Never once have I seen such a beautiful sight.

Additional Information

• When beginning a sentence with a negative adverb or adverbial phrase, the subject and auxiliary verb (or main verb if no auxiliary is present) are inverted.
  • Example: Seldom have I seen such beauty.
• This structure is often used for emphasis and is common in formal writing or speech.
