Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
"When" should be replaced with "than" to convey the intended meaning that the speaker resumed the journey immediately after sunrise. "No Sooner...than" is the correct conjunction form to be used in a sentence, which means "immediately" or "as soon as".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "No sooner did the sunrise than we resumed the journey after having a hasty breakfast."
