[amp_mcq option1=”was waiting, arrived” option2=”was waiting, was arriving” option3=”waited, arrived” option4=”have waited, have arrived” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is: Jane was waiting for me when I arrived.
The verb “wait” is in the simple past tense because it is describing a completed action. The verb “arrive” is also in the simple past tense because it is describing another completed action.
The other options are incorrect because they use the wrong verb tenses. Option A uses the past progressive tense, which is used to describe an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past. Option B uses the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. Option C uses the simple present tense, which is used to describe actions that are habitual or that are true in general. Option D uses the present perfect tense, which is used to describe actions that have been completed up to the present moment.
In this case, we know that Jane was waiting for me when I arrived, so we need to use the simple past tense to describe both actions.
