Explanation:
The phrase “No sooner…than…” is a common English construction used to show that one event happened immediately after another.
Structure:
No sooner + past tense verb, than + past tense verb
Example: No sooner had I reached home than it started raining.
Applying to your sentence:
“No sooner had Uche arrived at the meeting, than the proceedings began.”
Other options:
B. when → grammatically incorrect with “No sooner…”
C. as → doesn’t fit the idiom
D. while → also incorrect
Key point: After “No sooner …”, always use “than”.
