Answer 2

Answer:

than

Explanation:

• Because the first part of a no sooner...than phrase is always the last thing to happen, I now regret not biting my tongue and telling her what I really thought of her. Am I correct? But in this instance, the sentence is illogical.
• Even the tenses (I had told her...) and (I wished I...) are correct; they simply need to be switched.
• However, there are a few instances where the word "than" is employed to indicate that something occurs right after another, i.e., when discussing a temporal event. Therefore, it's not then that's necessary in "No sooner had I described the rule than an exception came to mind".

No sooner....than - used to indicate that the second described occurrence occurs right after the first.
