Answer:

My mother was lying on the carpet when I got home yesterday afternoon.

Explanation:

• Since we are not given any specific answers or hints on the relation between the mother and the carpet and what he saw when he got home in the sentence, you can use any verb which suits the sentence.
• The sentence indicate that it happened already, thus the subject must be followed by a past tense as the action took place already.
