Answer 2

The correct answer is "did not realize."

In this sentence, the action of not realizing the mistake occurred in the past. The word "did" is used to form the past tense of the verb "realize." "Did not realize" indicates that the subject (they) did not have the awareness or understanding of their mistake at the time.

The other options, "had not realized" and "were not realizing," do not correctly convey the intended meaning of the sentence. "Had not realized" implies that the lack of realization happened before another past event, which is not specified in the sentence. "Were not realizing" suggests an ongoing or continuous action of not realizing, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
