For the prompt, you have to explain how the passage is in the past tense. In the last paragraph, you can tell it is in past tense because it uses the words like “were” and “had” to represent the time. If this was written in the future tense, you would see words like “will” to represent future time. And lastly, this is not in the present tense because the main character/ narrator would be telling the story as it goes.
