Заполнение пропусков:

1. A: were — Используем Past Continuous, так как действие (сон) происходило в момент другого действия (пробуждение). 'George and Albinia' — множественное число, поэтому 'were'.
2. B: to understand — После 'took him a minute' используется инфинитив с 'to' для обозначения действия, которое потребовало времени.
3. C: had happened — Используем Past Perfect, так как это действие (что-то произошло) произошло до другого действия в прошлом (осознал, что он не понимал).
4. D: got — Используем Past Simple, так как это последовательное действие после пробуждения.
5. E: was — Описание погоды, которая была в тот момент. 'It was raining' — стандартная конструкция для описания погоды в прошлом.
