B) I tried to drive before the red light, but drove when it did.

E) I tried to drive when the light was still yellow, but stopped when it turned red.
Explanation:
Given the fact that the question is incomplete and example 2 (which is said to be a garbled sentence, confusingly written) was not given, we can assume that it was talking about a person trying to beat the red light.
With this in mind, the two revisions below that would clarify its meaning are options D and E because they make the most sense.
It is either B or C. C has a higher chance. You don't have to listen to me. If his face turns from smiling and then let the smile fade, it is most likely he is afraid or suprise.
