The question asks to complete the sentence using the most appropriate form, and it provides the fragment: 마이클은 어젯밤에 TV를 보고 있었어요.

Since the provided answer is 보고 있었어요, we can consider what this form expresses in Korean grammar. 보고 있었다 is the past progressive form of the verb 보다 (to watch), conveying an ongoing action in the past. 어젯밤에 TV를 보고 있었어요 translates to 'was watching TV last night,' which coherently situates the action in the past time frame introduced by 어젯밤에.

Next, we reflect on what a typical multiple-dropdowns question would entail. Such questions normally present several potential endings or modifiers for each blank, requiring selection of the form that best fits tense, aspect, politeness level, and sentence meaning. Here, the absence of answer options means there are no alternatives to compare against. This makes it impossible to evaluate correctness relative to other possible forms (e.g., 보고 있었던, 봤어요, 보는 중이에요, etc.) or to consider nuances like aspect (progressive vs. simple past) or politeness level.

Given the fragment with 어젯밤에 (last night) and the honorific polite ending -어요, the chosen form 보고 있었어요 aligns with standard storytelling or narration in polite speech when describing an ongoing past action. However, without the list of alternative forms to contrast, we cannot assess which option would be deemed most appropriate in the original exercise's criteria beyond this single option.

If you intended to compare multiple options, you would typically look for forms that preserve the time reference (past night), the progressive aspect (ongoing action at that time), and the polite speech level. Any option that shifts tense (for example, using 봤어요 for simple past) or changes aspect (다 보고 있었어요 vs. 보고 있었어요) would be judged against how accurately it matches the intended nuance of the sentence.

In summary, with the available information, 보고 있었어요 is a coherent progressive past form for the sentence fragment provided, but a full evaluation against other choices cannot be performed due to the absence of answer options. If you supply the possible dropdown choices, I can walk through each option and explain why it would be correct or incorrect in detail.
