How does this sentence demonstrate an unusual use of syntax? The party is when? It is not a complete sentence. The traditional order of the sentence is inverted, or reversed. The subject is located before the predicate. It ends with a question mark but is not actually a question.

i know that another common element of syntax in the English language is that the subject normally appears at the beginning of a sentence, with the predicate at the end of the sentence. but idk which one t go for

Questions usually start with the verb before the subject. Other sentences are usually SV. This sentence is unusual because it is a question with SV syntax.

Go with B. "When is the party?" Would be more conventional.
