Correct Answer: she left
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

- In this context, the statement "she leaves" is wrong.

- We usually use "before" with the past simple tense.

- It implies that the second incident occurred soon after the first.

- The "before clause," which denotes the second action, can be at the conclusion or start of the sentence.


- As a result, the phrase "she leaves" should be changed with "she left" to be grammatically correct.
Correct sentence: She gave everyone a present before she left.
