Answer 1

Answer:

had left, reached, made...

Explanation:

when two actions have taken place, the earliest one (once completed) is used in past perfect tense while the latest one, in past tense.

In this case, the actions taking place are, the train leaving the station and the people reaching. The train left before the people reached and thus, "had left" is used for the train and because the people reached after the train left, "reached" is used for them.

Hope it's helpful :)
