Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.
No sooner did we arrived at the railway station than we got into an argument with the auto driver.
Answer: C
The correct form is 'No sooner did we arrive'. After 'did' the main verb takes its base form, so 'did we arrived' repeats the past tense and is wrong. 'No sooner did we arrives' adds a third person ending that does not fit 'we'. 'No sooner had we arrive' mixes 'had' with a base verb, which is also wrong. The underlined segment needs correcting, so 'No substitution required' is not right. 'No sooner' is followed by the inverted verb and then 'than', and the sentence 'No sooner did we arrive at the station than we got into an argument' keeps that pattern with a single past marker.
