Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "were preparing."

Explanation:

Here, we will use "were preparing" because the sentence is talking about the past and why they were busy. So, the outcome is in the past tense, the thing is already done. So "were preparing" is a past sentence that suits the statement.

• will have been preparing comes in the future perfect continuous , which is wrong.
• will be preparing come in future continuous that the thing will be going to happen.

• have prepared means present perfect.

The correct sentence will be "They were busy because they were preparing for the party at their house next Sunday."
