In an indirect question, use statement word order: "you are".

The parallel comparative structure needs "the worse" here.
5No sooner had the teacher entered the class ............... the students stood up.
Wrong!
The correlative expression is "no sooner... than".

After "Would you mind", use the gerund "lending".
