Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Explanation: The correlative conjunction "no sooner...than" is used to indicate that one action or event happens immediately after another. In this case, "than" should be used after he'd no sooner seen one continent, which correctly conveys the idea that seeing one continent was quickly followed by seeing another.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: He'd no sooner seen one continent than he saw another.
