Pembahasan :
Soal meminta untuk melengkapi kalimat dengan memilih kata yang terdapat di dalam kurung.

Kalimat soal adalah "Bill, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and were 1. _____ (sharing/shared) a large suite on the top of a 75 story sky scraper". (Bill, Jim, dan Scott berada di sebuah konvensi bersama dan 1. _____ (sedang berbagi/berbagi) rangkaian besar di atas pencakar langit lantai 75.)

Bagian rumpang perlu diisi diisi dengan kata kerja 'sharing' karena sudah terdapat to be 'were' sehingga menjadi 'were sharing'. Kata kerja tersebut merupakan kata kerja Past Continuous Tense.

Past Continuous Tense adalah bentuk tense yang digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan atau aksi yang berlangsung di masa lampau.

Rumus : S + was/were + V-ing + O/C.

- Was digunakan untuk subjek she, he, it, I dan subjek tunggal.
- Were digunakan untuk subjek they, we, you dan subjek jamak.

Subjek kalimat soal adalah 'Bill, Jim, and Scott' yang merupakan subjek jamak, maka to be yang digunakan adalah 'were' dan V-ing 'sharing'.

Kalimat lengkapnya menjadi "Bill, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75 story sky scraper". (Bill, Jim, dan Scott berada di sebuah konvensi bersama dan sedang berbagi rangkaian besar di atas pencakar langit lantai 75.)

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah : sharing
