Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. No sooner did.
- The phrase "No sooner did" is appropriate because it follows the correct grammatical structure for expressing that one event happened immediately after another.
- We use "No sooner" to indicate that something happened right after another event.
- This construction effectively emphasizes the immediacy of the second action following the first.
