Answer 1

Answer:

(C) then the passengers rushed towards it.

Explanation:

The error is that it should be than instead of then. This is an example of Correlative Conjunction, in which two phrases/words are placed in different points of the sentence.

Some examples are-

• Neither...nor
• Either...or
• No sooner...than
• Not only...but also
• Both...and

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) then the passengers rushed towards it

Explanation:

• It should be "than" instead of the "then".
• Conjunctions are the linkers of words, phrases, and clauses to make sentences.
• "No sooner…than" is a type of correlative conjunction in which two words or phrases are used at different places in the sentence.
• Other examples of correlative conjunctions are "Either…or", "Neither…nor", "Both…and", "Not only…but also", etc.
• "No sooner…than" is used to show the simultaneous actions one after the other.
• The correct sentence is "No sooner did the train arrive at the station than the passengers rushed towards it". Here we use inverted word order to understand the meaning. Auxiliary verb comes before the subject and the meaning is that "As soon as the train arrived at the station, passengers rushed towards it".
