Question

--- Why did the car hit the boy?

--- Because the driver ______ on the phone at that time.

A.   talk            B. is talking

C. was talking       D. have talked

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：句意：—为什么这辆汽车撞了这个男孩？—因为在那时这位司机正在打电话。hit the boy撞了这个男孩； talk on the phone通电话。根据时间状语at that time在那时，可知此处用过去进行时was talking。故选C。

【考点定位】考查过去进行时的用法。
