Answer : 3. "not only cold but also"
Explanation :

The correct sentence is:

The place was not only cold but also damp.

Explanation: In this sentence, the use of "only" and "also" is redundant. Instead, "not only...but also" is the correct correlative conjunction to use. Also, the conjunction "and" should be replaced with "but" for proper contrast between the coldness and dampness of the place.

Answer : 4. "when we got"
Explanation :

The correct sentence should be:

Hardly had we stepped out of the building when we got drenched.

Explanation: The phrase "then we get drenched" should be replaced with "when we got drenched" to maintain the correct verb tense. "When" is the appropriate subordinating conjunction to use in this context.
