A possible answer for part b):
In March 2011, an undersea earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. Soon afterwards, a tsunami hit the coast. Nuclear power stations in the earthquake areas were shut down. Half a million Japanese people left their houses, and 1.4 million people were without water.
Why:
- were shut down — пассивная конструкция: станции были остановлены;
- left — Past Simple от leave («покинули»);
- were without water — «оставались без воды».
