Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. Soon after the players arrived.
- The given sentence denotes it's tense in the past form. So, it is accurate to use the word 'arrived' because it also implies it's meaning in the past tense. Furthermore, the question uses 'as soon after the players' which is incorrect. This is because the word 'as' isn't required since it doesn't add any extra meaning/sense to the phrase.
