Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah "were talking."

Soal ini meminta untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang nomor 11 dengan kata kerja yang diberikan.

Kalimatnya adalah "so after dinner, they ____ (11. talk) for a while" yang artinya "jadi setelah makan malam mereka ____ (11. bicara) sebentar."

Pada kalimat tersebut terdapat keterangan waktu "after dinner" yang yang menggambarkan kejadian di waktu spesifik di masa lalu. Sehingga menggunakan Past Continuous Tense.

Pola kalimat Past Continuous Tense yaitu "S + was/were + V-ing + O/C."

V-ing dari "talk" adalah "talking."

Dengan demikian kalimat menjadi "so after dinner, they were talking for a while" yang artinya "jadi setelah makan malam mereka berbicara sebentar."

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "were talking."
