Answer:

While her husband checked into the hotel, Mrs Petersen wrote postcards

Step-by-step explanation:

the word checked is in the wrong tense because wrote was in past tense. This yherefore indicates that the whole sentense is in simple past tense. You cannot have 2 different tenses in one sentence.
