Answer» Out of the given SENTENCES, the only correct sentence is 3. The sentence uses the conjunction phrase 'no sooner..than', which is used to show two events which happen immediately one after the other. The correct structure of the sentences is: No sooner+had+ the bell+ past participle FORM of the verb 'rung'+ than. None of the other sentences are GRAMMATICALLY sound.
