Explanation:
The complete sentences after matching them are as follows-
1. After Sophie had finished her work- a. she went to lunch.
Here, the first past sentence indicates Sophie had done her work, and then only did she go for lunch. The past tenses are "had finished" and "went".
2. I washed the floor- c. before he decided to leave.
The two past tenses in this sentence are "washed" and "decided", which both imply an action done in the past.
3. Harold had known situations- h. he traveled so far.
The use of "had known" and "traveled" showed Harold's experience and knowledge of situations.
4. I didn't say anything- b. until she had finished talking.
Here, the past actions are indicated by the words "didn't" and "had finished".
5. After she had moved out- e. I found her notes.
The use of "moved" and "found" is indicative of the time gone or the aspect of it being done in the past.
6. Before I knew it- d. she had run out the door.
"Knew" and "had run" indicate the action done in the past.
7. We'd just gotten home- k. when we heard the blast outside.
The verbs "gotten" and "heard" are used in the past as they indicate an action that happened in the past though not necessarily a long time ago.
8. By the time Doris got to the party,- f. everyone had gone home.
"got" and "had gone" indicate the gone action that happened in the sentence, making it a past occurrence.
9. After I'd had used the phone,- i. I paid the bill.
"Had used" and "paid" are both written in the past tense.
10. It'd happened so quickly- g. I didn't notice.
Here, the use of the verbs in their past tense "happened" and "didn't" are indicative of the past actions that happened.
