Чтобы выполнить задание, нам нужно использовать формы прошедшего времени глаголов в скобках. В данном случае, необходимо использовать как прошедшее простое (past simple), так и прошедшее длительное (past continuous), в зависимости от контекста. Давайте разберемся с каждой частью текста по порядку.
1. В первом абзаце:
Исходная часть:
In a hole in the ground
In 1978 workers (dig) behind an old casino in Dawson City, Yukon when they (discover) more than 500 films from 1903 to 1929. The films (be) in perfect condition because of the cold temperatures.
Разбор:
- "In 1978 workers (dig)" подразумевает, что действие («копали») происходило в определённый момент. Поскольку это действие длилось («работали») в момент, когда произошло другое событие, мы используем past continuous:
were digging.
- "when they (discover)" - это событие, которое произошло, когда работники копали. Следовательно, здесь мы используем past simple:
discovered.
- "The films (be) in perfect condition" - здесь мы описываем состояние фильмов. Используется past simple:
were.

2. Во втором абзаце:

In an attic
In 1990 Barbara Testa, a librarian, (find) 665 pages of an old book while she (look) through a trunk in her attic. The book (be) the original manuscript of the great American novel Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.
Разбор:
- "Barbara Testa (find)" - это событие, которое произошло в конкретный момент времени. Используем past simple:
found.
- "while she (look) through a trunk" - здесь действие «смотрела» происходило в процессе другого события, значит используем past continuous:
was looking.
- "The book (be)" - состояние книги также описывается в прошедшем времени. Используем past simple:
was.

3. В третьем абзаце:
Исходная часть:
As a bicycle rack
Every day employees of the God's House Tower Museum in Southampton, UK (put) their bicycles against a black rock in the basement. In 2000 two Egyptologists (visit) the museum. They (examine) other items when they (see) the black rock. They (identify) it as a 2,700-year-old statue of the Egyptian King Taharqa.
Разбор:
- "employees (put)" - здесь действие происходит регулярно (каждый день), поэтому используется past simple:
put.
- "In 2000 two Egyptologists (visit)" - это событие, которое произошло в определенный момент, следовательно, используем past simple:
visited.
- "They (examine) other items when they (see)" - "examined" - это действие происходило в процессе, следовательно, используется past continuous:
were examining. "when they (see)" - это событие произошло в определённый момент:
saw.
- "They (identify) it" - событие, которое произошло позже, используем past simple:
identified.
