  1. In sentence (i), “had rushed” shows an earlier completed action before “found,” which is in simple past. In (ii), “had vanished” and “had cooled down” are past perfect, showing actions that happened before “reappeared,” which is in simple past. This structure shows how English uses different past tenses to show the sequence of actions clearly.
