CLEP World Languages exams assess control of past tenses, particularly contrasts between the preterite (acciones completas, puntuales) and the imperfect (acciones habituales, descripción, contexto). In the sentence, the speaker describes ongoing background (“cuando yo ___ niño”) and a habitual action (“siempre ___ al parque”). The imperfect is required for both ideas: “era” (I was) describes a state/condition in the past, and “iba” (I used to go/was going) indicates repeated, customary action. Option B correctly uses “era/iba.” Option A (“fui/fui”) misapplies the preterite, which signals completed, one-time actions or bounded events—ill-suited for age/background and habits. Option C mixes imperfect and preterite incorrectly; the habitual marker “siempre” calls for the imperfect. Option D uses a preterite for “fui” in the first clause, again clashing with background description. Mastery of aspect—how an action unfolds over time—is central to reading and listening tasks on CLEP language tests. Clues like “siempre,” “todos los domingos,” and age/time expressions typically point to the imperfect.
