The construction 'No sooner' requires the inverted word order 'No sooner did we enter' not 'No sooner we entered'. The correct structure is: 'No sooner did we enter than he got up and left the room.' The auxiliary verb 'did' is mandatory after 'No sooner' at the beginning of a sentence.
To answer this question, let's analyze each part of the sentence:
No sooner we entered (a) - This part of the sentence is incorrect. The correct form should be "No sooner had we entered." The structure "No sooner + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb" is used to express that one action happened immediately after another action.
than (b) - This part of the sentence is incorrect. There is no error in this part.
he got up (c) - This part of the sentence is incorrect. The correct form should be "he had got up." The past perfect tense ("had + past participle") is used to indicate an action that occurred before another past action.
and left the room. (d) - This part of the sentence is incorrect. The correct form should be "and had left the room." Again, the past perfect tense is used to indicate an action that occurred before another past action.
All correct (e) - This option is incorrect because there are errors in parts (a), (c), and (d) of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is B, as there is no error in part (b) of the sentence.
