The correct answer to the previous question is "C". According to English Grammar, whenever using the Past Continuous Tense, also known as Past Progressive, we must comply with the following grammatical structure: past tense of<em> to be</em> (<em>was </em>or<em> were</em>) followed by the gerund of the main verb (e.g. <em>to sleep</em>, <em>sleeping</em>).

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A) if it is not the answer, it is your second choice. He received medication, food and water, freedom of one arm and peaceful sleep. That's pretty indicative of relief.

B) B is close, but I think A is more complete in what was done.

C) I don't see any real indication that he was badly injured. I wouldn't pick C. It is also incomplete about what was done.

D) I don't get the feeling they were rushing about to accomplish this; even so it is not complete nor the main idea.

A is the answer.
