B,D Correct answer
Explanation

Option B incorrectly mixes present tense 'leaves' with past tense 'did not arrive' in the same sentence, creating a timeline contradiction. Option D wrongly uses present continuous 'are walking' alongside past tense 'happened', breaking the narrative flow. Options A and C maintain consistent tense usage within their clauses.
