Answer 2

1. a: what was she doing this morning? b: she was interviewing candidates for the sales job. (In this sentence, we use the past continuous tense "was interviewing" to describe an action that was happening at a specific time in the past.)

2. a: how did Brenda spend her holiday? b: most days she went to the beach. (In this sentence, we use the past indefinite tense "went" to describe an action that happened in the past, without any specific time reference.)

3. a: what happened after you launched the product? b: while we were promoting it, our main competitor dropped their prices. (In this sentence, we use the past continuous tense "were promoting" to describe an action that was happening simultaneously with a specific point in the past. We use the past indefinite tense "dropped" to describe an action that happened after the specific point in the past.)

4. a: I didn't see you in the office last week. b: No, I was working at home for a few days. (In this sentence, we use the past continuous tense "was working" to describe an action that was happening at a specific time in the past.)

5. a: what did Pat do when she saw the artwork? b: she called the designers and said it wasn't suitable. (In this sentence, we use the past indefinite tense "called" to describe an action that happened in the past, without any specific time reference.)

6. a: why did Renata take so long to get here? b: she said they were mending the road and so the traffic was moving very slowly.
