Question

Select the most appropriate word segment that rectifies the bracketed and complete the given sentence meaningfully.

(No sooner did we arrived) at the airport than we got busy with the luggage we were carrying.

• A. No sooner arrived we
• B. No sooner had we arrived
• C. No sooner did we arrive
• D. No sooner we arrived

Answer 1

Answer:

C. No sooner did we arrive

• This follows the rule of Inversion. When a sentence starts with "No sooner," it must be followed by an auxiliary verb (did or had) before the subject. If you use did, the main verb must be in the base form (arrive). If you use had, the main verb must be in the third form (arrived). Since option B uses "had... arrived" and option C uses "did... arrive," both are technically grammatically correct in isolation, but "did... arrive" is the standard correction for the specific error in the bracketed text.
