Explanation:

Analyze Question 4

The sentence starts with "Un día" (One day), which triggers the preterite tense because it refers to a specific, completed action in the past. Therefore, "quiso" (preterite of querer, meaning "tried to" or "wanted to" at that specific moment) is selected. The second part of the sentence is cut off, but the visible options are "fue / [iba]" followed by "a un partido de béisbol" (to a baseball game). Since it describes a completed action/trip that occurred on that specific day, the preterite "fue" is the correct choice.

Analyze Question 5

The sentence describes an ongoing state of emotion in the past when a sudden action interrupted it. "Estábamos muy contentos" (We were very happy) uses the imperfect "estábamos" to describe the background state or ongoing emotion. "Cuando ellos llegaron a casa" (when they arrived home) uses the preterite "llegaron" because the arrival is a specific, completed action that interrupted the ongoing state.
