Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the past simple to talk about events, states or habits at definite times in the past. At 4 pm last Tuesday, I was working in the office. The past continuous emphasises the action or event in progress around a time in the past. The event (working) was in progress at 4 pm.
