We can complete the sentences considering that the past continuous indicates the action that was taking place when another action happened (simple past).
- Were... driving? / stopped
<h3>What is the simple past tense?</h3>
The simple past tense is the form of the verb we use to indicate that an action took place in the past. We use the simple past tense when the action has already finished.
Examples:
- Affirmative: I saw you at the party last night.
- Negative: I didn't see you at the party last night.
- Interrogative: Did you see me at the party last night?
<h3>What is the past continuous tense?</h3>
The past continuous tense is used to indicate that an action had a longer duration in the past, that is, that it started in the past, lasted for a while, and then ended.
Examples:
- Affirmative: She was watching her favorite cartoon.
- Negative: She wasn't watching her favorite cartoon.
- Interrogative: Was she watching her favorite cartoon.
The two tenses can be used in the same sentence to indicate that one action - simple past - interrupted another action - past continuous - or happened while the other action was taking place.
Example:
- I was cooking when someone rang the doorbell.

Answer: The statement "C) The conflict between appearance and reality is demonstrated by Mr. Nuttel's fragile mental state, leading him to believe Vera's manipulative fictional ghost story" offers the best analysis of the central ideas.
Explanation: In the second paragraph, it is stated that Mr. Nuttel is on the recovery process of his altered nerves. He believes in the manipulative niece's story about how her aunt went crazy thinking that her husband and her two young brothers would come through the window one day. When the aunt comes downstairs and welcomes the men that suddenly climb through the window, Mr. Nuttel runs away in panic, due to the fragile mental state that led him to believe in Vera's fictional story.
