In this case, the event is that the person ran to catch a bus.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are not correct because they are not in the past tense. Option A, &#8220;was running,&#8221; is in the past progressive tense. The past progressive tense is used to talk about events that were happening in the past at a specific time.
