Question at position 9 While Jason _____ dinner, his roommate suddenly came home with takeout. cooked had cooked was cooking would cook

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

First, restating the situation helps set the context: The sentence is about Jason performing an action during another event, namely preparing dinner, when something interrupted it.
Option 1: 'cooked' This past simple form would imply a completed action in the past and is odd here because the timing described is during dinner preparation when the interruption happened; 'cooked' doesn't align with the ongoing action framework.
Option 2: 'had cooked' The past perfect suggests the action was completed before another past event. Since the turning point (roommate coming home with takeout) happened while dinner was being prepared, the sequence requires a progressive or ongoing form rather than a completed action prior to the interruption, so this feels mismatched.
Option 3: 'was cooking' This past continuous form fits the scenario of an ongoing activity (Jason preparing dinner) at the moment when the roommate arrived with takeout. It establishes a backdrop of ongoing action that gets interrupted by the newer event.
Option 4: 'would cook' The conditional future-in-the-puture form is not appropriate for a narration about a past event occurring at a specific moment in the past; it would be out of place in a simple past narration.
In summary, the ongoing, in-progress nature of 'was cooking' best captures the temporal relationship where dinner preparation was happening when the interruption occurred, whereas the other tenses either imply completed action, an incorrect sequence, or a nonstandard hypothetical form for this context.
