Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
"Seldom we have been" should be replaced with "seldom have we been" to convey the intended meaning that they have been rarely treated in such an ill-mannered way.
The adverb "seldom" modifies the verb "have been" which means it should come after the auxiliary verb "have" as per the law of inversion. When an adverb like "seldom" modifies the verb, it is considered an inversion of subject and verb. The inverted order is grammatically correct and emphasises the adverb "seldom."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Seldom have we been treated in such a rude manner."
