Correct Answer:
when
Solution : The correct answer is option 1.
Explanation:
- The adverb "hardly" is used to say "only a very short time before."
- When two events occurred quickly one after the other, we say "hardly...when" (i.e. there was a very short space of time between the two things happening).
- "hardly" cannot be paired with any of the alternative choices.
