Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option 'no correction required' If the sentence is correct as given. (No sooner did I reach the airport when I stumbled upon a bad omen) and decided to not board the flight. Correct Answer No sooner did I reach the airport than I stumbled upon a bad omen

The correct answer is 'No sooner did I reach the airport than I stumbled upon a bad omen'.

Key Points

  • The error lies in the incorrect usage of conjunction with 'No sooner'.
  • 'When' needs to be replaced with 'than'
  • There are some fixed pairs of conjunction such as 'No sooner.....than', 'Hardly/scarcely.....when', etc they take fix conjunctions after them. 
  • Both the structure that is 'No sooner....than' and 'Hardly/scarcely...when' are used to express the same meaning in the sentence that is they are used to suggest that one action or situation takes place/took place immediately after another action or situation.
    • Example: 
      • No sooner had I arrived at the station than the train came. (= I came first and the train arrived right after me.)
      • Hardly had I reached the station when the train came.
  • Note:- The structure of 'No sooner...than' can also be used with 'did'.
    • Example: No sooner did I arrive at the station than the train came.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'No sooner did I reach the airport than I stumbled upon a bad omen and decided to not board the flight.'
