Question

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.
(No sooner the advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone appeared) than there was a rush on the online website for prebooking the same.

a)
No sooner did the advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone appeared
b)
No sooner the advertisement regarding the launched of new smart phone appeared
c)
The advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone was no sooner having appeared
d)
No improvement

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

When the sentence begins with a negative adverbial phrase, the order of the subject and the verb is interchanged and the verb is used in the auxiliary form.

Answer

The sentence in question is in the past tense and talks about an event that happened in the past. The correct answer is option 'A', which is:

No sooner did the advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone appeared.

This is because the correct structure for the 'no sooner' construction is 'no sooner + auxiliary/modal verb + subject + verb'. Here, 'did' is the auxiliary verb used with the subject 'advertisement' to form the correct sentence structure.

Let's break down the sentence and look at it in detail:

- The sentence starts with 'No sooner', which is a phrase used to indicate that one thing happened immediately after another. It is similar in meaning to 'as soon as'.
- Next, we have the auxiliary verb 'did', which is used to form the question and negative forms in English. In this case, it is used to form the 'no sooner' construction.
- After 'did', we have the subject 'advertisement', which is the thing that appeared.
- Finally, we have the main verb 'appeared', which is the action that happened.

Overall, the corrected sentence reads:

No sooner did the advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone appeared than there was a rush on the online website for prebooking the same.

This sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

Answer

In the option 'a', when we are using 'DID' in the sentence, 'appear' should be used and not 'appeared' i guess.
