I had been thinking hard all that day whether to go or not to Kate’s party. (Весь тот день я долго думала, идти ли на вечеринку Кейт.)

I seldom go to parties, but this time I thought I’d make an effort. (Я редко хожу на вечеринки, но на этот раз решила постараться.)

When I got home, I looked for something smart to wear. (Когда я пришла домой, я стала искать что-нибудь нарядное.)

Unfortunately, I put on a blue dress that I had hardly ever seen me in before. (К сожалению, я надела синее платье, в котором почти никогда прежде себя не видела.)

I got stuck in a traffic jam and when I arrived there was only a couple of Jane’s friends left. (Я попала в пробку, и, когда приехала, там осталось всего несколько друзей Джейн.)

I had never seen them before, so making conversation was very hard. (Я никогда прежде их не видела, поэтому поддерживать разговор было очень трудно.)

Ответы: 1) had been thinking; 2) go; 3) thought; 4) got; 5) looked; 6) to wear; 7) to put; 8) had; 9) seen; 10) arrived; 11) had seen.

Для пункта (7) по грамматике требуется форма put on («надела»); в видимых вариантах, возможно, пропущено слово on. В пункте (9) напечатанная конструкция с me звучит неестественно; вероятно, в исходном тексте имеется в виду «платье, в котором я почти никогда прежде себя не видела».
