Select the one which conveys the meaning of the sentence correctly
Answer: D
Correct answer: No sooner had the dividend been declared than the notices were prepared for mailing.
No sooner is paired with than, and because it opens the sentence the auxiliary must come before the subject: no sooner had the dividend been declared.
Why the others fail:
- Since the dividend being declared than… - no finite verb, and than has no comparative to answer.
- Scarcely had… than - scarcely pairs with when, not than.
- They had no sooner declared the dividend when… - the same pairing error in reverse.
