In no case_____ our children do that. A. we let B. should we have C. we cause D. we should let
Let’s break this down.
The sentence is:
In no case _____ our children do that.
Step 1 — Structure clue
“In no case” is a negative or restrictive phrase at the beginning of a sentence.
In English, this triggers inversion of subject and auxiliary verb (similar to “never,” “under no circumstances,” etc.).
Step 2 — Possible verbs
We need an auxiliary verb before the subject “our children” because of the inversion.
Step 3 — Check options
A. we let → No inversion, incorrect after “In no case.”
B. should we have → Has inversion (“should we”), but meaning: “should we have our children do that” is possible in structure, but “have our children do that” means “make/allow our children do that.” That could fit logically, but we must check if it’s the best match.
C. we cause → No inversion, incorrect.
D. we should let → No inversion (“we should let” keeps subject before verb), incorrect.
Step 4 — Meaning
Original likely intended meaning: “In no case should we let our children do that.” But option B is “should we have our children do that,” which can mean “should we allow/make our children do that.”
Since “let” would be more common, but “have” can also work in the causative sense, B is the only one that follows the inversion rule.
Step 5 — Confirm best choice
Grammar rule satisfied only by B.
Answer: B. should we have
