Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: No sooner he was
Solution : The second option is correct.
The error lies in the placement of the subject and the auxiliary verb after no sooner. In English, when no sooner is used, the subject and the auxiliary verb should be inverted. So, instead of no sooner he was, it should be no sooner was he.
Therefore, the corrected sentence is: No sooner was he brought to the hospital than he began panting heavily.
