- A.
A)
- B.
B)
- C.
Both
Correct Answer
C. BothExplanation
Both situations in the given options are appropriate for using inversion. Inversion is a grammatical structure where the usual word order of a sentence is reversed, typically placing the verb before the subject. In both situations, the verb "goes" is placed before the subject, which creates a more dramatic or emphatic effect. Inversion is commonly used in exclamatory sentences or to add emphasis. Therefore, both options A and B demonstrate the correct usage of inversion.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. POSSIBLEExplanation
The sentence "Jones will be being allowed to go out soon at this rate" is grammatically correct and makes sense.
