Answer 2

We arrived at 8:05, but the train had already left. (Option c)

• In the given sentence, the required tense is past perfect.
• It means that out of the two given events, one event had already occurred before the other one.
• Here, before they arrived at 8:05, the train had already left.
• Since the tense is past, had will be used in the blank and has, have are not suitable for this tense.
