Question
The injured _____ to the ambulance while the people _____ around the crime scene.a.were being taken / were gatheringb.have been taken / gatherc.have been taken / gatheredd.were taken / would gather
Solution
The correct answer is a. "were being taken / were gathering".
This is because both actions were ongoing at the same time in the past. The use of "were being taken" and "were gathering" indicates that these actions were happening simultaneously. The other options do not correctly convey this.
