Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Inversion lesson: Inversion places an auxiliary verb before the subject after a negative or restrictive adverbial that opens the sentence: 'Not only did sales rise, but profits doubled.' Writers use it for emphasis and dramatic pacing. If the verb has no auxiliary of its own, borrow do/does/did, exactly as in questions: 'Rarely does it snow here.'
