Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option " packed up" as it is in the past tense, which conveys that the band completed the action of packing up its equipment when the party ended.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Will pack up : It suggests future tense and is not appropriate in this context.
- Will have packed up : It also suggests the future perfect tense, which is not suitable for describing a past event.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "When the party ended, the band packed up its equipment and left".
