The expression<em> "the map is not the territory", </em>was first said by the Polish scientist, <em>Alfred Korzybski.</em>

It is a metaphor. There is the reality of something (as perceived by the senses).  And there are labels, symbols, abstraction of that reality created by the mind/thought for the sake  of convenience, communication, or to make undersanding easier. We are often looking at maps rather than the territory, without realising it. Mind is an expert at doing this.

Korzybski held that many people do confuse maps with territories, that is, confuse models of reality with reality itself. In other words, the description of the thing is not the thing itself. The model is not reality.

Answer:

A). Mr. Duarte <u>was packing</u> some boxes.

B). Mrs. Duarte <u>was locking</u> the car door.

C). Jeff <u>was holding</u> the armchair.

D). Speedy <u>was pushing</u> a ball in his mouth.

E). A box <u>was falling</u> to the floor.

Explanation:

Past Continuous tense is primarily employed to denote an 'on-going action of the past' that started in a time before now and continued for a while(in the past). It is formed by using the auxiliary verb 'was/were'(to denote past) followed by the progressive form of the main verb('verb + ing' to reflect the continuity). The given sentences could be filled by using this rule to signal to the progression of the action in the past.
