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.

Answer : 4. "to say anything"
Explanation :

The correct sentence should be:

She was too startled at first to say anything, but finally, she blurted out the truth.

Explanation: The phrase "to say something" is the appropriate choice here. The verb "startled" is typically followed by an infinitive verb form, so "to say" is used. Additionally, the sentence benefits from proper punctuation, including a comma after "first" and another after "finally."

Answer : 3. "in spite of"
Explanation :

The correct sentence should be:
