Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
The word order is incorrect in the sentence. When using never to emphasise the negative aspect, the correct word order should be "have such incidents" as per the law of inversion. Inversion is a grammatical structure in which the usual word order in a sentence is reversed. Inverted sentences often begin with the verb, followed by the subject and then the rest of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Never have such incidents taken place on our campus.
