Explicação:

Quando precisamos juntas duas orações, podemos utilizar when ou while.

Utilizamos o when (quando, em inglês) quando temos uma ação que ocorre num determinado momento, enquanto outra ação já está ocorrendo duas orações que ocorrem ao mesmo tempo. Por exemplo, a frase 2, onde há uso do when, diz que o diretor de Ocean's 11 ligou para Matt quando Matt estava assistindo um DVD em casa.

Já o while (enquanto, em inglês), utilizamos quando duas ações ocorrem simultaneamente, como podemos ver na terceira frase, onde há uso do while, o sujeito leu todo o roteiro enquanto estava almoçando.
