Решение:

1. The Smiths a) were having lunch at 12.30 pm yesterday. (Past Continuous используется для описания действия, которое длилось в определенное время в прошлом).

2. Ilya a) was browsing, came home. (Past Continuous используется для описания действия, которое было прервано другим действием - 'came home').

3. At 4 pm last Sunday we b) were sending a parcel at the post office. (Past Continuous используется для описания длительного действия в определенное время в прошлом).

4. Circle the correct answer.

- What b) did you do, painted my walls. (Past Simple используется для завершенных действий в прошлом).

Two years ago, we b) travelled to Asia. (Past Simple используется для завершенных действий в прошлом).

At 11 pm yesterday Maria b) flew to St. Petersburg. (Past Simple используется для завершенных действий в прошлом).

When I a) was messaging, wrote Kostya, he an email. (Past Continuous используется для описания действия, которое было прервано другим действием - 'wrote').

- Olga a) walked, crashed a tree. (Past Simple используется для завершенных действий в прошлом).

home when a car b) was walking, crashed into (The prompt seems to have a typo in the original image. Assuming the intended sentence structure is 'Olga was walking home when a car crashed into...', the answer would be 'Olga was walking home when a car crashed into a tree.' However, based on the provided options and the lines, it seems more likely that 'Olga' is the subject and the action is 'walked'. Let's re-evaluate based on the typical structure for these exercises.)

Re-evaluating Olga's entry:

- Olga

a tree.

home when a car

a) walked, crashed

b) was walking, crashed

If Olga walked into a tree, then 'walked' is the correct past simple. If Olga was walking and a car crashed, then 'was walking' and 'crashed' would be used. Given the layout, it's likely Olga is the subject and the action is 'walked'.

- Olga a) walked, crashed a tree. (Past Simple for a completed action).

The sentence related to Olga is ambiguous due to formatting. However, if we consider the options provided for 'Olga', and the phrase 'a tree', 'walked' (Past Simple) is the most fitting verb for 'Olga' performing an action resulting in crashing into a tree. The phrase 'home when a car' seems to be a separate incomplete sentence fragment. Based on the options, 'walked' is the most direct action for Olga related to 'a tree'.

At 11 o'clock yesterday the students a) were taking the English exam. (Past Continuous is used for an ongoing action at a specific time in the past).

0. What a) was she doing in the spring of 2020? (Past Continuous is used to ask about an action that was in progress during a period of time in the past).
