Answer 2

is it going to be "they were" or "we were" ?

Answer 3

Here's the translation for the question:

"What were they doing when they saw the accident? "___________ the street."


The question is asking in the 'pretérito (past)' form. So you must also answer in the 'pretérito'

Which of the answers are in the 'pretérito'

a. we were crossing
b. we are crossing
c. they were crossing
d. they are crossing

Please take note: the question does not mention anything about what you were doing, Samantha's translation is incorrect.

C is the correct answer.

Answer 4

The answer is definitely c, but Samantha translated correctly the choices, but not the question!
