Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The reason is that no sooner...than is a correlative conjunction, and it should be followed by the auxiliary verb (had) and then the subject (they) before the main verb (received), i.e., the law of inversion is applied after no sooner.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: No sooner had they received the guests than they began entertaining them.
