C) for the airport. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) he was left

Explanation:

The error is in second part. In the given sentence two events occur one after the other. ‘He left’ before ‘we reached’. So, the event that was completed before the occurrence of the next event shall be expressed in past perfect tense. Therefore, the correct form of verb will be “had left”.
