Bab 6: Unlocking The Stories Behind Our Memories

Answer: A. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Explanation: This proverb is used to describe someone who faces difficulties but perseveres and keeps going. It encourages resilience and the idea of not giving up when faced with challenges.

Answer: C. She was eating dinner when I called her. Explanation: The sentence uses the past continuous tense (“was eating”) instead of the simple past tense. The other sentences correctly use the simple past tense (“saw,” “walked,” “visited”) to describe completed actions in the past.

Answer: C. They were talking when the teacher entered the room. Explanation: The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were in progress when another action happened. In this case, “were talking” is the ongoing action, and the teacher entering is the interruption.

Answer: D. First I went to the store, then I watched a movie. Explanation: The correct sequence connectors "First" and "Then" are used to show the order of actions. This sentence follows the correct sequence.

Answer: B. I went to the park yesterday. Explanation: The simple past tense is used for actions that happened and were completed in the past. “Went” is the past tense form of “go.”

Answer: A. I was reading a book when the power went out. Explanation: The past continuous tense (was reading) is used to describe an ongoing action that was interrupted by a second action (the power going out).

Answer: A. First, I woke up, then I went to school. Explanation: The correct sequence connectors show the first action, followed by the next one in the correct order.

Answer: D. After I woke up, I went to school. Explanation: This sentence correctly uses the sequence connector “after” to show the order of two actions — first waking up, and then going to school. Sequence connectors like before, after, then, and when help show which event happens first and which happens next. In this sentence, the use of “after” clearly indicates that the action of waking up happened before the action of going to school. Therefore, it correctly describes an event happening before another.

Answer: A. He was studying when I called him. Explanation: The past continuous tense ("was studying") is used for the ongoing action, and the simple past tense ("called") is used for the interrupting action.

Answer: C. went / played / ate Explanation: In this sentence, the simple past tense ("went," "played," "ate") is used because all actions were completed in the past. The sequence of events is in the correct order.

Answer: B. was watching / rang / didn’t answer / was Explanation: The past continuous tense ("was watching") describes an action in progress when another event happened (the phone ringing). The phone rang (simple past), and the action of not answering the phone is also in the simple past tense ("didn’t answer").

Answer: B. First / woke / made / Then / ate / watched Explanation: The sentence starts with “First” to introduce the initial event. The verbs "woke" and "made" are in the simple past tense because they describe completed actions. The sequence connectors “Then” and “Next” show the order of events.

Answer: A. First / woke / made / Next / ate / was watching Explanation: The correct sequence is “First, I woke up early and made breakfast. Next, I ate my meal while I was watching the news.” This sentence uses past tense verbs to show actions that happened in the past: “woke” (past form of wake) “made” (past form of make) “ate” (past form of eat) “was watching” (past continuous, showing an ongoing action). The sequence connectors first and next help show the order of events. The past continuous verb (was watching) shows that watching the news was happening at the same time as eating. This makes the sentence clear and grammatically correct.

Answer: A. went / were looking / saw Explanation: The simple past tense ("went," "saw") is used for completed actions, while the past continuous tense ("were looking") is used for an ongoing action when another event happened (seeing the artifact).
