Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

"When" should be replaced with "than" to make the sentence grammatically accurate, as they both form a pair of correlative conjunctions . "No sooner" is followed by "than", which helps convey the idea that the rain started immediately after the match began.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "No sooner had the hockey match started than it began to rain".
