Which sentence is in inverted order?

A. I fingered the script nervously.
B. At the back of the theater sat the director.
C. I took a deep breath and began to read.
D. Auditions for the play are in progress.

I believe the answer is b. a regular sentence would say "the director sat at the back of the theater" but, this sentence is kind of backwards/ inverted so that it's is switched around

So,
"Inverted word order" means that the predicate (all of it) comes before the subject (all of it).
Option B is in inverted word order. Natural word order: The director sat at the back of the theater.

The sentence in inverted order is option B: 'At the back of the theater sat the director.' This sentence reverses the typical subject-verb-object structure by placing the predicate before the subject. The other options follow the standard sentence order.
