Jawaban untuk soal adalah 'was watching'.

Soal meminta untuk mengisi bagian rumpang dengan kata kerja dalam kurung dengan bentuk yang benar.

Terjemahan kalimat rumpang nomor 1 adalah 'Suatu malam Paul 1. ______ (menonton) televisi'

Kalimat ini seharusnya menggunakan Past Continuous Tense + when + Simple Past Tense, karena ada 2 klausa dengan kejadian yg terjadi bersamaan di mana salah satunya memotong kejadian lainnya.

Kata kerja 'watch' yang benar adalah dituliskan dalam bentuk Past Continuous Tense (was / were + Ving).

Dengan demikian, subjek pada soal adalah Paul maka to be nya adalah 'was'.

Dengan demikian, bentuk kalimat lengkap adalah "One evening Paul 1. was watching the television 2. and eating his supper 3. when the door suddenly 4. opened and a burglar 5. came in." yang artinya '"Suatu malam Paul 1. sedang menonton televisi 2. dan sedang makan malam 3. ketika pintu tiba-tiba 4. terbuka dan seorang pencuri 5. masuk."

Jadi, jawaban untuk soal adalah 'was watching'.
