Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. Here, both the events happened in the past – the lunch and the cricket. Thus, both the verbs should be in the past tense. 'Had finished' in past perfect is used to indicate that this happened first, and then went in simple past (and not ‘would go’).
