Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Past continuous.
'Was' is the past tense of the verb 'be', which marks the past time.
'Sleeping' is the present participle form (verb+ing), which indicates the continuous aspect.
Combined, 'was' + present participle forms the past continuous tense, showing an action that was in progress at a past time.
