Analyze the first question
The sentence is: "Él me ______ que no ______ el timbre."
- The first blank describes a completed action in the past (He told me): preterite of decir for él is dijo.
- The second blank describes an ongoing state or background action in the past (he didn't hear / wasn't hearing the doorbell): imperfect of oír for él is oía.
- Therefore, the correct combination is "dijo, oía".
Analyze the second question
The sentence is: "Ellos siempre ________ la misma cosa."
- The keyword "siempre" (always) indicates a habitual or repeated action in the past, which requires the imperfect tense.
- The imperfect form of decir for ellos is decían.
