From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
Hardly had he completed narrating the story......the poor woman collapsed.
This is a case of inversion used after negative adverbials such as hardly, scarcely or no sooner. The usual structure is:
Hardly/Scarcely... when
No sooner... than
So we say:
Hardly had he finished... when...
No sooner had he finished... than...
