A. On entering the stadium, cheers greeted them
B. On entering the stadium, they were greeted by cheers
C. While entering the stadium, cheers greeted them
D. On entering the stadium cheers greeted them
E. On entering the stadium: cheers greeted them
A. On entering the stadium, cheers greeted them
We get: ...cheers greeted them as a sign of universal approval...
So, the PEOPLE were a sign of approval?
This doesn't make sense. The CHEERS were a sign of approval.
ELIMINATE A
ELIMINATE D and E for the same reason.

B. On entering the stadium, they were greeted by cheers
We get: ....they were greeted by cheers as a sign of universal approval....
So, the CHEERS were a sign of approval.
Perfect. KEEP B

C. While entering the stadium, cheers greeted them
A few problems here.
We have: "While entering the stadium, cheers..." This suggests that the CHEERS entered the stadium.
ELIMINATE C

By the process of elimination, the correct answer is B

Cheers,

The mention of stadium in this piece has really endeared the write-up to my heart and i hope doing justice to it wouldn't be too much to do. Let's drive it on.

Okay, beginning from Option A, this is a statement that appears really correct in text but not in context. It is not contextually correct because it is not what's desired of the response. Hence, it is INCORRECT.

The Option B statement specifically meant that when the players or the team entered the stadium, they were met with an applause by the waiting spectators. The preposition ''by'' here is suitable, although ''with'' could have been more appropriate. Nevertheless, it is still within the context grammatically. Consequently, we can't agree more that it is the MOST CORRECT

In Option C, ''while'' is an indeterminate period of time expended in the course of performing an action. It does not substitute for ''on'' here, which is a specification preposition talking about a particular action that's taken place in a specified time limit. INCORRECT option.

Here in OPTION D, there's no break in the statement as to question the continuity of the sentence formation. There ought to be punctuation in the form of a comma (,) which should act as a ''spectator''. Hence, it is INCORRECT.

Here in OPTION E, the grammatical formation is voided by the use of an inappropriate punctuation mark. The colon is used when itemizing and not in furthering explanations in a statement. So, it is INCORRECT
