In case no improvement is needed, click the button corresponding to “No improvement”. a)\u00a0since<\/p>\n b)\u00a0then<\/p>\n c)\u00a0than<\/p>\n d)\u00a0No improvement<\/p>\n 16)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n The combination of “did” with the “bare infinitive” is sometimes called an “emphatic” tense, and so the first sentence might be more “emphatic,” calling attention to the fact that the teacher really entered the room.<\/p>\n The expression\u00a0\u2018no sooner\u2026than\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0is used to suggest that one action or situation takes place\/took place immediately after another action or situation.<\/p>\n When\u00a0\u2018no sooner\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0goes at the beginning of the sentence, we use an inverted word order. That means the auxiliary verb goes before the subject.<\/p>\n Hence option C<\/p>\n Question 17:\u00a0<\/b>A sentence\/a part of the sentence is underlined.
