Answer:

He had scarcely reached the school as it began to rain.

Explanation:

Conjunction is a word used to connect two or more clauses or to coordinate words in the same clause. Examples are - and, but, yet, if, etc.

Here we have used as as a conjunction between two clauses. First is He had scarcely reached the school and second is It began to rain.

The first clause is a statement whereas the second clause defines the reason.
