Accepted Answer

Задание состоит в том, чтобы выбрать подходящую форму глагола для заполнения пропуска номер 8. Контекст указывает на то, что действие происходило в прошлом, и вероятнее всего длилось какое-то время. Предложенные варианты: * was reading * read * reads Правильный ответ: **was reading** Объяснение: * "was reading" (читал) - указывает на процесс чтения, происходивший в прошлом. Это соответствует контексту, где описываются события из прошлого. * "read" (читал/прочитал) - может указывать на завершенное действие, что менее подходит в данном контексте. * "reads" (читает) - указывает на настоящее время, что не соответствует контексту.
