Past Simple or the Past Continuous

Доброй ночи, Developer.vitalek!

Ты, видимо, вопрос в новой версии задаёшь т. к. в старой его не видно. Ну ничего, вот ответы на твой тест. Отвечаю в СТАРОЙ ВЕРСИИ:

1 – made, was making, helped
2 – designed, started, was working, died
3 – escaped, was taking, caught, locked
4 – were losing, won
5 – sang, played, recorded, was preparing, shot
6 – were coming, were hurrying, was standing, grabbed

Good luck!
