Answer 1

Ответ: 3 (had been wearing)

Answer 2

The correct answer is 5. "had been worn."

The sentence states that the shoes were worn-out, indicating that they had been worn for a long time. The past perfect continuous tense, "had been wearing," is used to express an action that started in the past and continued up until another point in the past. In this case, the shoes were worn-out, suggesting that they had been worn for an extended period.

The past perfect continuous tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" in the past perfect tense, followed by the main verb in the present participle form ("been") and the base form of the main verb ("worn"). Therefore, option 5, "had been worn," is the correct choice.
