Rearrange the parts to make a meaningful sentence.

P. all over the colony

Q. no sooner had the guests

R. sat down to eat

S. than the lights went out

Explanation

1. 01

   "No sooner ... than" is a fixed pair. Q begins it, and "had the guests" needs a past form: R "sat down to eat".

2. 02

   S brings "than" and the second event, and P says where the lights went out.

3. 03

   So the order is QRSP: "No sooner had the guests sat down to eat than the lights went out all over the colony."
