1-A   2-B   3-B   4-B  |  5 = been   6 = Simple   7 = By the time he arrived, we had eaten dinner.   8 = She was studying when the phone rang.   9 = Because the working was an ongoing activity leading up to a specific past moment (the call) — Past Perfect Continuous emphasizes duration up to that past point, which Past Simple can't convey  |  10 = e.g. "By the time I got home, my sister had cooked dinner.
