Answer 1

Answer:

D. Never did he admit the charge against him.

When a sentence begins with a negative adverb such as Never, Rarely, Seldom, Hardly, Scarcely, we use inversion:

Negative adverb + Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb

Original:

He never admitted the charge against him.

Rewritten:

Never did he admit the charge against him. ✅

Notice:

• did is placed before the subject he.

• The main verb changes from admitted to admit.
