Answer 1

1. b) was dancing - This describes an action in progress when another action (arriving) interrupted it.

2. b) had never seen - This uses the past perfect to show an action completed before another action in the past (last summer).

3. b) were playing/started - "Were playing" shows an ongoing action, and "started" shows a single action that interrupted it.

4. a) finished - Simple past is sufficient here; the homework was completed before going to bed.

5. a) didn't like - Simple past tense is used to describe a past action.

6. b) was reading/was watching - Both actions were happening simultaneously.

7. a) arrived/started - Simple past for both actions, showing a sequence of events.

8. b) had worked - Past perfect to show the action of working was completed before the promotion.

9. a) saw - Simple past tense works well here describing a completed action.

10. c) was feeling - This describes a state of being that lasted for a period of time before the presentation. While "felt" is also possible, "was feeling" better emphasizes the duration of the nervousness.
