Đáp án đúng: A
(AI giải đề cho tôi)
Câu gốc: James started working. He then realized that his decision had not been a good one. → James mới bắt đầu công việc thì ngay lập tức nhận ra quyết định của mình là sai. Cấu trúc 'No sooner... than...' (đảo ngữ với quá khứ hoàn thành) diễn tả hành động vừa xảy ra thì hành động khác ngay lập tức xảy ra: 'No sooner had James begun his new job than he knew his decision was wrong.' — khớp hoàn toàn về nghĩa và thời gian. B sai nghĩa (điều kiện giả định, James vẫn đi làm); C sai nghĩa (không đề cập việc tìm việc mới); D sai thời gian ('just before' — nhận ra trước khi nhận việc, trái với 'started working... then realized'). Đáp án A khớp với đáp án nguồn trang 6.
