Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: The phrase, ''seldom if ever'' means rarely or almost never. When a sentence begins with ''seldom if ever'', the following part of the sentence follows the law of inversion. The law of inversion means that the subject and the verb are inverted; that is, the verb comes before the subject. The second part of the given sentence should be ''does nature operate'' in place of ''nature does operate''.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Seldom if ever does nature operate in closed and separate compartments."
