解答

正しい形を選ぼう

  1. b) did it understandnot until の後では主節が倒置され、did + 主語 + 動詞の原形 を使います。
  2. c) thanNo sooner の後には than が続きます。
  3. b) shouldbe left を使った倒置を作るには助動詞（法助動詞）が必要です。should the door be left が正解です。
  4. a) wasSuch + be は倒置され、後に続く名詞に一致します。Noise は単数なので was です。
  5. c) did sheLittle が節の冒頭に来るので、did を加えて動詞を原形に戻します：did she realise。
  6. d) did the team publishOnly after + 節 の後には、倒置された主節が続きます：did the team publish。
  7. c) didretreat の過去形には did が必要で、これは had to be redrawn と対応しています。
  8. c) whenHardly には when が、no sooner には than が付きます。

  2. did / wouldNot only の後では、その節の中で倒置が起こります：did the proposal cost。
  3. were / wasAt no time は否定の副詞句なので、受動態の助動詞が主語の前に来ます。イギリス英語では Staff は通常複数扱いです。

  5. wereOnly when + 節の後には、倒置された主節が続きます：were the explorers able。
  6. wasSo + 形容詞 + be は倒置され、was は the storm に一致します。
