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.
