Question

I loved chili in my food so much. I ate them for my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between them. When I didn’t taste a hint of chili in my food, I wouldn’t even bother finishing it, until one week ago; I was almost hospitalized for putting too much chili in my meatballs. 

I was eating a bowl of my favorite meatball and put way too many spoons of chili into it. My stomach felt like it was on fire on the next day and i got diarrhea. I thought my stomachache would slowly leave me after i let my food out but it turned out that I had more painful stomachache after. I felt like stomach gave up on me and I almost did the same thing. My dad asked me to check my condition in the hospital but my mom told me to let my food out one more time. I chose to did what my mom suggested, hoping it would work because if it wouldn, I would have to follow my days suggestion. It took time, but my stomachache felt more bearable than before. Finally, after almost an hour, i was completely stomachache-free. 

My parents went strict on what I am eating after that day. They made me promise myself not to eat anymore crazy amount of spicy food. Not that I completely quit on eating them, but I have been reducing my consumption of them. I am still learning not to eat spicy food anytime I want. It’s hard, but for the sake of my health, I am doing it anyway.

B. present continuous tense 
C. simple past tense

Pembahasan:
Pada soal diminta untuk mengidentifikasi tense yang digunakan di dalam teks.

Penggunaan tense dalam suatu teks bacaan dapat diidentifikasi dari struktur atau rumus kalimatnya.

Misalnya pada kalimat pertama: I loved Chili in my food so much. (Saya sangat menyukai cabe di dalam makanan saya/ makanan yang pedas).
Kalimat tersebut memiliki struktur: I (subject) + loved (verb 2) + ....

Kalimat kedua: I ate them for my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between them. (Saya memakannya saat sarapan, makan siang, makan malam, dan di camilan).
Kalimat tersebut memiliki struktur: I (subject) + ate (verb 2) + ....

Dari kedua kalimat tersebut, juga dapat diidentifikasi dari sisa kalimat di teks, bahwa tense yang digunakan adalah Simple Past Tense.

Simple Past Tense digunakan untuk menceritakan suatu kejadian, kebiasaan, menyatakan fakta, atau situasi yang terjadi di masa lampau. Tense ini menggunakan kata kerja bentuk kedua atau lampau dengan rumus: Subject + Verb II (Past Form)

Simpulan:
Teks bacaan pada soal menggunakan Simple Past Tense.
