Hint: There's a difference between the ball becoming live and the clock starting . . .

I put true for this can anyone tell me why it's wrong?
Rule 4-43-2 states that a successive time-out is "one which is granted to either team before the clock has started following the previous time-out.

Thanks Freddy! Picky *******s but relevant due to my confusion!
So if at the end of the fourth quarter with the score tied, coach A gets a technical. Coach B then requests a time out and it is granted. If time out is requested again by either coach before the second technical free throw is taken, it will be denied since the clock never started, however the ball did become live on the first free throw. I see the slight difference.
