Correct Answer: when the employees stood up


Solution : There is an error in the option 3.

We need to use ‘than’ instead of when. As ‘No sooner than’ is a pure connective which is used to indicate that the second described event occurs right after the first.

Hence the correct sentence is 

No sooner did the manager enter the room than the employees stood up.
