Question

Option 1: Had the committee acted sooner, the crisis might have been avoided.

Option 2: No sooner the announcement was made than the crowd began protesting.

Option 3: She speaks as though she has witnessed the incident herself.

Option 4: It is essential that every participant submits their report before Friday.

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

'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.
