Detailed Solution

The word 'arrived,' which is in simple past form, indicates that the given sentence is about completing the order in the past. The past tense describes an action or situation that occurred in the past and was completed. The majority of past tense verbs end in "-ed." The irregular verbs have unique past tense forms that must be memorised, such as "left," which is the past form of leave. Option 2 is in simple past form and is the correct choice in this case because it indicates that an action (order) was completed in the past. As a result, Option 2 is the correct answer.
