She ______ a beautiful song when I entered the room.

A sings
B was singing
C had sung
D sang
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option B
• This sentence describes an action that was in progress in the past when another past action occurred. • 'When I entered the room' indicates a specific point in the past. • The action 'singing' was ongoing at that specific past moment. • This scenario requires the Past Continuous Tense. • The structure for Past Continuous Tense is Subject + was/were + V1-ing + Object. • 'She' is a singular subject, so 'was singing' is the correct form.
