Answer 1

Answer:

wow congratulations well done

Answer 2

No sooner did the boy see the cobra than he ran away. -This is the right answer.

Rectifying the error:

• A sentence with some mistake is given and we have to spot it out and also rectify it.
• If we have to find out the mistake, we must check if there is agreement between the noun and verb; and also with the rest of parts of speech in the sentence.
• Here those kinds of agreement are present.
• But the form of 'no sooner' is not correctly used here. The error is here and it should be corrected.
• 'No sooner' always takes 'than' before the second clause.
• That is for example 'No sooner had I completed the work, than the teacher called me'.
• So it should be : No sooner did the boy see the cobra than he ran away
