Correct Answer: (1)


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

The conjunction no sooner is followed immediately by a verb, as per the law of inversion. Thus, "no sooner had" is the correct sentence structure to begin the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: No sooner had the minister heard about the accident than he rushed to the spot.
