Answer 2

A frase em questão pode ser completada corretamente da seguinte maneira: "Last night, as Jack was cooking dinner, the lights went out" (letter B).

Past Continuous and Past Simple

A frase "Last night, as Jack was cooking dinner, the lights went out"  pode ser traduzida para o português da seguinte maneira: "Noite passada, enquanto Jack estava cozinhando o jantar, a luz acabou".

Logo, deve-se fazer uso do Past Continuous (was cooking) para se referir à ação que Jack estava realizando no momento em que a luz acabou. No caso da luz, ela acabou subitamente, em um determinado momento do passado. Portanto, deve-se utilizar o Past Simple (went).
