Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: when

Solution : Option 4 is the correct answer

Explanation:

When is the correct answer.
When is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
- We know that the conjunction 'when' comes after 'hardly/scarcely'.
- 'Hardly and scarcely' indicates 'nearly not at all' or 'just barely'. 'Hardly' is more commonly used than'scarcely,' and'scarcely' is more formal.
- As a result of the preceding considerations, we conclude that Option 4 is the correct option.
Sentence Correction: Scarcely had I reached the station when the train arrived.
