Question

10) Choose the correct verb. Alia finally told/ was telling us the whole story about Bakyt.​

Answer 1

Alia finally told us the whole story about Bakyt

Answer 2

The correct verb in this context is "told." The sentence would be:

"Alia finally told us the whole story about Bakyt."

The past simple tense "told" is appropriate here because it indicates that Alia provided the information about Bakyt at a specific point in the past. If you use "was telling," it suggests a continuous action, implying that Alia was in the process of telling the story, but doesn't convey the sense of completion that the past simple tense does.
