Halo, Fifa. Kakak bantu jawab, ya.

Jawaban soal ini adalah "a. were they doing; was".

Soal meminta untuk melengkapi kalimat dengan bentuk verb yang sesuai.

Arti kalimatnya yaitu:

What ...... at 10 pm last night? It ...... really noisy! [Apa ... pada pukul 10 semalam? Itu ... sangat berisik!]

Bagian rumpang pertama terdapat keterangan waktu lampau yang spesifik (at 10 pm last night), sehingga menggunakan Past Continuous Tense [WH-Q + to be (was/were) + S + V-ing + O/C?]. Maka dari itu, bagian tersebut dilengkapi dengan 'to be (was/were) + S + V-ing', yaitu 'were they doing'.

Bagian rumpang kedua menggunakan Simple Past Tense [S + to be (was/were) + O/C]. Maka dari itu, bagian tersebut dilengkapi dengan 'was/were'. Berhubung subjeknya 'it', maka to be yang digunakan 'was'.

Kalimatnya menjadi "What were they doing at 10 pm last night? It was really noisy!" [Apa yang sedang mereka pada pukul 10 semalam? Itu sangat berisik!]

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "a. were they doing; was".

Semoga membantu :)
