    The document provides examples of inversions where the second sentence restates the meaning of the first sentence using different grammatical structures. There are 11 examples that demonstrate inverting sentences through substituting adverbs like "never", "rarely", "little", and "nowhere" or changing conjunctions like "not only" and introducing clauses with "not until", "only when", and "should". The inversions follow a pattern of rephrasing the first sentence while maintaining the same essential meaning.
