Question

In the following sentence, a phrase is given in bold. It may or may not contain an error. Choose the option that correctly replaces the bold phrase. If the sentence is correct as it is, select option (e) 'No replacement required'.

**No sooner had I closed my eyes than I fell asleep.**

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase **'No sooner had I closed my eyes than I fell asleep'** is a correct usage of the correlative conjunction structure 'No sooner... than...'.

2. This structure is used to indicate that one event happened immediately after another.

3. The auxiliary verb 'had' correctly follows 'No sooner', and the word order is appropriate.

4. All other options distort the correct grammatical structure and are incorrect.

**Answer:** No replacement required
