Identify the grammatically incorrect sentence.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

'No sooner' requires inversion of the auxiliary: 'No sooner was the announcement made than...'. As written, without inversion, the sentence is ungrammatical. The conditional inversion in A, the 'as though' clause in C, and the subjunctive in D are acceptable.
