b. a big group was here last night. (big is underlined.)
c. there was a big group here last night. (group is underlined.)

Answer 1

The sentence that is in inverted order with the subject underlined is sentence C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence C contains an expletive there. In this case, there is not grammatically related to the rest of the sentence. Expletives serve a function but do not have any meaning. In fact, if the expletive was removed, the meaning of the sentence would be left unchanged (1). The expletive is also called a dummy subject.

1) A big group was here last night

Answer 2

The correct answer of the given question above would be option  C. The sentence that is inverted with the subject underlined is: There was a big group here last night. (Group is underlined.) The subject of this sentence is the word "group".
