Which of the following is an example of an inverted sentence?
There in the dusty light from the one small window on shelves of rough sawed pine stood a collection of fruit jars and bottles with ground glass stoppers and old apothecary jars all bearing antique octagon
labels edged in red upon which in Echols' neat script were listed contents and dates. (Cormac McCarthy,
The Crossing. Random House, 1994)
We notice things that don't work. We don't notice things that do. We notice computers, we don't notice
Opennies. We notice e-book readers, we don't notice books. (Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt:
Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time. Macmillan, 2002)
They liked his diffidence when he apologized for the company he kept, his insincerity when he
