Вопрос:
Complete the sentence with the Past Simple or the Past Continuous of the verb in brackets.
She ___ (write) a composition the whole day yesterday.
The sentence requires completion using either the Past Simple or Past Continuous tense of the verb 'write'. The phrase "the whole day yesterday" indicates a duration of time, suggesting the Past Continuous tense is more appropriate.
Thus, the completed sentence is:
She **was writing** a composition the whole day yesterday.
Explanation:
* **Past Simple:** Describes a completed action in the past.
* **Past Continuous:** Describes an action in progress at a specific time in the past.
In this case, writing the composition was an action that continued for the entire day yesterday. Hence, 'was writing' (Past Continuous) is the correct choice.
