General EnglishGrammar and usage
- AHe had no sooner
- Barrived than
- Che was asked to leave again
- DNo error
Explanation
'No sooner … than' is the correct correlative pair — 'no sooner' must be followed by 'than', never by 'when'. All three parts of the sentence use this construction correctly, so there is no error at all. The correct choice is therefore (D), 'No error'.
