Answer 1

Đáp án là A

Câu gốc: Cho đến nửa đêm tiếng ồn từ nhà hàng xóm mới ngừng hẳn.

Đáp án là A. Cấu trúc: S + did not + V + until + phrase/ clause = It was + not until + phrase/ clause that +S + V-ed.

Đáp án D không chọn được, vì sai ngữ pháp: khi “Not until” đứng đầu câu, ta phải sử dụng đảo ngữ.
