Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution: 1
As second part of the sentence is in past tense, it is clear that the whole sentence is in past tense and now, as the talking was being done when the phone rang, it means that the talking activity was going on at that time. Hence, past continuous will be used here and ‘was talking’ will be the correct answer.
