Question

Under no circumstances (A)/ you would be allowed to remain (B)/ out of home after ten o’clock, (C)/ said Radhika to her son (D).

Identify the part of the sentence which contains an error.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence begins with the negative adverbial phrase **"Under no circumstances"**.

2. In English grammar, when a sentence starts with negative adverbs or adverbial phrases such as *hardly, scarcely, barely, rarely, seldom, not only, under no circumstances,* or *in no way*, an **inversion** of the subject and auxiliary verb is required.

3. The original phrase in part (B) is:
   
   > "you would be allowed"

4. To follow the inversion rule, it should be:

> "would you be allowed"

5. Therefore, the correct sentence is:

> "Under no circumstances **would you be allowed** to remain out of home after ten o’clock," said Radhika to her son.

**Answer:** (B)
