Question

The sun ...... and people were getting on and boats in busy port

( was shining _ shone_ has shone _ shines)​

Answer 1

was shinning

Step-by-step explanation:

was shining is the past continuous which describes actions or events which was continued before and after another action

Cause it is happening right on the spot.

Shone is past tense so it is not relative to this

It is not has shone cause it doesn't need to have or has.

The sun was shining, and people were getting on boats in the busy port.
