No sooner did we reach at the party that it began to rain.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. than it began to rain.
The error in the sentence 'No sooner did we reach at the party that it began to rain' lies in the incorrect use of 'at' and 'that.'
The correct grammatical structure is 'No sooner... than', which is used to show that one event happened immediately after another.
The proper form is 'No sooner did [subject] + verb + [object] than [subject] + verb', and 'reach' does not require the preposition 'at'.
Therefore, the sentence should read: 'No sooner did we reach the party than it began to rain.'
