The event of her seeing the neighbour drive by happens while she is standing on the bus stop. So, the word 'when' is used to highlight that fact.

'That' is the most suitable option, it pairs up with 'so' and shows a purpose, 'that' on its own refers to purpose as well, hence option A is correct.

The correct version of the sentence is:

• No sooner had she left the room than her baby started to cry.

This structure is correct because:

• The phrase "No sooner" is followed by the auxiliary verb "had" to form a past perfect tense.
• The word "than" is used to introduce the result clause.

"I am visiting for no other reason but to see that you are well."

Explanation:

• The phrase "for no other reason but" is a common idiom meaning "only for this specific reason."
• "But" in this context functions as an exception or contrast to "no other reason."
• The other options do not fit grammatically:
  • "as" does not fit idiomatically.
  • "beacuse" is incorrect because "no other reason than" is not the correct construction here.
  • "whether" does not make sense in this sentence

The sentence uses the word "lest", which implies a negative outcome if the action is taken. The correct word to follow "lest" is "should", which indicates a possible consequence.

• Lest is used to express fear or prevention of something undesirable.
• The word "should" fits grammatically and contextually, suggesting a hypothetical situation.

'Lest' is defined as something done to avoid an undesirable consequence. Lest is always followed by subjunctive mood, usually present or future tense. Thus, according to the usage rules, option D is the correct answer.
