Vedclass · Answer

(B) The sentence follows the structure: $No \, sooner + 	ext{auxiliary verb} + 	ext{subject} + 	ext{verb} + 	ext{than} + 	ext{clause}$.Since the second part of the sentence ('the curtain rose') is in the past tense,the first part must also be in the past tense.'No sooner' is followed by the auxiliary verb 'did' or 'had'.If we use 'did',the verb must be in the base form (did the bells ring).If we use 'had',the verb must be in the past participle form (had the bells rung).Comparing the options,'did the bells ring' $(B)$ is grammatically correct and maintains the plural subject 'bells' used in the original sentence.

No sooner $do \, the \, bells \, ring$ than the curtain rose.
