The sentence B1 is correct. We use simple past tense when a past state or event is being referred without inference to any other event or state with respect to time.

B1 is in simple past and B2 is in past perfect. Both are correct but B2 is more appropriate as it requires no reason with conjunction.

The verb GO is a very irregular verb in English, and both WENT and GONE are some of its forms. As we have learned grammar, well we think we have! We sometimes need to take a look at verb conjugation to understand more fully why some rules are they way they are. Since this error is most often seen in the present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect tenses, Let's concentrate there. Here's the correct use of GO in these tenses: Present Perfect - I have gone, you have gone, he/she/it has gone, we have gone, you have gone, and they have gone Past Perfect - I had gone, you had gone, he/she/it had gone, etc. Futre Perfect - I shall/will have gone, you will have gone, he/she/it will have gone, etc. Ah, ha! Did you see any examples of "I have WENT..." , "You had WENT..." , "He/she/it will have WENT..." ? No way! And that's because using WENT for GONE in these cases is about as bad as throwing a clod in the churn. Now all of this begs the question: Why do lots of folks make this mistake? Maybe the answer lies in the fact that WENT actually IS corrrect in the PAST tense form of GO. Check this out: Past of GO - I went, you went, he/she/it went, we went, you went, they went. Hence, both are correct in their form....few! that was long one. read less
