Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The phrase 'had went' is incorrect because 'went' is the simple past tense of 'go', not the past participle. The past perfect tense requires the past participle form, which is 'gone'. Therefore, 'had gone' is the correct form. The other parts of the sentence, including 'without me', 'by the time', and 'I got there', are grammatically correct.
