Sentence Correction
Medium
He was having a difficult time, but never once he complained.
He was having a difficult time, but never once he complained.
Correct Option: 1
- Option 1 is correct as it uses the correct inversion ('did he complain') necessary in negative adverbial constructions for emphasis.
- Option 2 is incorrect due to the awkward construction 'give the complaint,' which is not idiomatic in English.
- Option 3 is grammatically incorrect and awkward; 'not once any complaining happened' disrupts the flow and clarity.
- Option 4 retains the incorrect original structure without the necessary inversion for emphasis.
