No substitution required

so that all the guests

than all the guests

when all the guests

- The segment underlined in the sentence uses "guests ran," which isn't directly the issue.

- The problem lies in "No sooner did it begin to rain that," which is not the correct correlative conjunction required.

- "No sooner" is correctly followed by "than," not "that."

- Option 1, "No substitution required" isn't correct. The substitution is indeed needed.

- Option 2, "so that all the guests" doesn’t fit the grammatical structure with "No sooner."

- Option 3, "than all the guests," is correct. It provides the proper correlative conjunction.

- Option 4, "when all the guests" also doesn't align with the "No sooner" structure.
