1-B 2-B 3-A 4-B | 5 = Past/Future 6 = Continuous 7 = While I was cooking, she called me. 8 = She was studying when the phone rang, and she answered it. 9 = "Waiting" needs Present Perfect Continuous (have been waiting) since it's ongoing from the past, and "since 3 hours" is wrong because "since" pairs with a starting point, not a duration — it should be "for 3 hours" | 10 = Answers vary — check each includes the correct signal word and matching tense.
