Correct Answer: did we arrive at


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

"No sooner did we arrive at" follows the correct inversion of the subject and auxiliary verb after the phrase, "no sooner". In English, when no sooner is used to indicate an action that happens immediately after another, the auxiliary verb and subject are inverted. So, did we arrived at should be replaced with "did we arrive at" as did is followed by the first form of the verb making the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "No sooner did we arrive at the airport than we got onto our flight to Atlanta."
