Explanation

The train had already left the station.

The sentence follows correct subject-verb-object order: "The train" (subject) + "had already left" (verb) + "the station" (object).

It uses past perfect tense properly to show that the action (train leaving) was completed in the past.

Explanation

This sentence correctly uses the correlative pair "either...or" for two alternatives.

It is grammatically complete and logically clear.

Explanation

"This is the best peach producing valley" 

Grammatically awkward. It should be:

 "This is the best peach-producing valley."

(Hyphenate "peach-producing" as it's a compound adjective.)

"I done matric in 2010" 

Incorrect verb form. It should be:

"I did matric in 2010"

("Done" is the past participle; here we need the simple past, "did.")

"This is an utensil" 

"An" is used before vowel sounds, not just vowels.

 The correct sentence is: "This is a utensil."

Because "utensil" starts with a 'yoo' sound, which is a consonant sound.

So, since all the options have errors, the correct choice is:

"None of these"

Explanation

"What he said" is a correct noun clause and acts as the object of "understand."

Explanation

The sentence "We're having a barbecue next week." refers to a future event.
