Answer:
No sooner did the power resume, than the children screamed in joy.
There is an error in the second clause of this sentence.
Explanation:
- Fundamentally, 'no sooner' is used to show that one thing happens immediately after another thing. It is generally used with the past tense, and is mostly followed by 'than'.
- Example: No sooner had the children arrived than they were fighting.
- Moreover, when 'no sooner' is used in the beginning of a sentence, we invert the order of the auxiliary verb and subject.
- Example: No sooner had they started their work than the power went out.
- Consequently, the sentence is in past tense (did) and 'no sooner' is also applied in the beginning. The only error is of preposition of time, we have to replace 'when' with 'than' to make the sentence accurate.
Hence, the error is related to preposition of time.
