Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
(No sooner I saw) the lizard than I ran away.
(1) As soon as I saw
(2) No sooner I had seen
(3) No sooner did I see
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The phrase No sooner I saw should be replaced with No sooner did I see. When No sooner...than is used, it's necessary to use the auxiliary verb did to form an inversion.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " No sooner did I see the lizard than I ran away."
