Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

This question tests your understanding of verb tenses, specifically the past continuous tense.
The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past. The sentence indicates an action (making a kite) that happened before a point in the past (6 months ago).
The structure of the past continuous is "was/were + verb + ing". Since Reshma is singular, we use "was".
Therefore, "Reshma was making a kite before 6 months" is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

Why other options are incorrect:
B. what: "What" is an interrogative pronoun used to ask questions. It doesn't fit the context of a declarative sentence.
C. why: "Why" is an adverb used to ask for reasons or causes. It's not appropriate in this context.
D. will: "Will" is an auxiliary verb used to form the future tense. The sentence refers to a past action, so the future tense is inappropriate.
