jawaban yang benar adalah "were watching".

Pembahasan

Topik dari soal di atas adalah tentang Past Continuous Tense yang berfungsi menerangkan perbuatan yang sedang terjadi di masa lampau. Rumusnya adalah S + to be (was / were) + V.ing + O + Adverb. Jika subjek berupa He,She ,It dan I maka to be yang digunakan adalah was, dan bila subjek yang digunakan adalah You, We, dan They maka to be yang digunakan adalah were. Kemudian, untuk Adverb of time yang digunakan sama seperti Simple Past Tense yaitu: yesterday, last____,____ago.

Berpedoman pada rumus di atas, maka bagian rumpang yang kedua (nomor 8) diisi dengan "were watching" dan bila ditulis utuh kalimat di atas menjadi "We were sitting on the sofa and were watching news on TV" yang artinya "Kami sedang duduk di atas sofa dan sedang menonton berita di TV".

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah "were watching".
