From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences:
Hardly had the family settled down for Mummy's special dinner............the lights went off.
The structure “Hardly… when” is a correlative conjunction. It is used to show that one event happened immediately after another.
Structure:
Hardly + auxiliary verb + subject + past participle + when + second action.
So:
Hardly had the family settled down → first action
when the lights went off → second action (immediately after)
