How does this sentence demonstrate an unusual use of syntax? The boy did what? It ends with a question mark but is not a question. The subject comes before the predicate. It is not a complete sentence. The traditional syntax has been inverted, or reversed.

Based on the given sentence above, I can say that what makes its use of syntax unusual is that the traditional syntax has been inverted, or reversed. Given that the sentence is in a question form, using the traditional syntax, it would be like this: "What did the boy do?" The answer to this is the last option. Hope this helps.
