• As soon as I boarded the train, I realized that I had left my wallet at home.

Answer 1

Two past actions are combined with “as soon as.” to show that something happened. ‘at the very moment’ or ‘shortly after’ another action was completed (‘boarded’ and ‘realised’ in this case). Realisotion happens after the action or event has happened. Therefore, the past perfect of the action will be used with ‘realised.’

Therefore, 'As soon as I boarded the train, I realized that I had left my wallet at home.' is the correct answer.
