Select the line that uses inverted syntax.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
They flash upon that inward eye
They stretched in never-ending line
For oft, when on my couch I lie

For oft, when on my couch I lie uses reverse syntax.

The final line (For oft, when on my couch I lie) uses inverted syntax.

The first three sentences use normal syntax: subject first, then verb.

The final sentence, however, uses inverted syntax and places the object (my couch) before the subject and verb.
