Answer 2

Answer:

“No sooner did he receive a telegram” than ‘he immediately came to see me’.

Explanation:

• The expression or phrase ‘no sooner…than’ is a two-part comparative adverb used to express an action that succeeds immediately after a previous action or about two activities taking place simultaneously.
• In the given sentence, the “subject is seeing the writer as soon as he received the telegram”.
• While starting a sentence with ‘no sooner’, the “inverted word order” is followed where the auxiliary verbs like did or does appears before the subject to emphasize the initial action.
• This expression is used mostly in literary context and sparingly in spoken language.
