Identify the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment. If no substitution is required, select "No substitution Required".
No sooner was his name called out when he was gone onto the stage to receive the award.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. than he went.
Explanation:
- The conjunction 'No sooner ----- than' is used in Present and Past tenses.
- 'No sooner' should never be followed by the word 'when'.
- The phrase ‘he was gone' is also wrong here and it will be replaced by 'he went'.
So, the sentence after substitution will be: No sooner was his name called out than he went onto the stage to receive the award.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
