Correct option is A
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a)
were you watching.
�� Explanation:
· The sentence describes an
ongoing action at the
specific point of past time “when I called you.”
· For such situations, the correct tense is
past continuous (was/were + V1 + ing).
· “Have you watched” is
present perfect, and doesn’t fit with a
specific past time reference.
Correct sentence:
Which movie were you watching on television when I called you?
✅ Grammatical Rule Used:
· Use
past continuous for an action that was in progress when another past event occurred.
· “When + past simple” + “was/were + V-ing”
Example:
·
I was reading a book when the lights went out. ✅

Grammar Booster:
�� Combine
past simple with
past continuous to show interruption or ongoing action at a point in the past.
