Hi Mr.Alan
Could you please help me make clear this.
_________that we decided to cancel the polo match.
A. Such was a weather B. Such terrible weather was it
C. So terrible a weather D. The weather was such
-I think D is correct because The weather was such that....=The weather was so bad that...
B seems incorrect. But Why ?
Inversion with Such

Re: Inversion with Such
We do not normally invert subject and verb after a such-phrase.
