The correct verb forms to fill the given blanks are mentioned above. Since the tense used in the passage is the past, the same tense would be followed. To show the continuity, past progressive('Subject + was/were + V1 + ing') would be used while in order to indicate the specific actions that took place in the past would be written using 'Past Indefinite'(Subject + V2 + object). While present perfect would be employed to show that it was said in the present while quotation denotes that the exact words are being taken.
