Comentário do professor

Na frase correta, observamos o uso contrastante e adequado de tempos passados: Past Continuous para a ação em progresso e Past Simple para ocorrências pontuais ou repetidas que a interrompem.

«As I was cooking dinner last night» apresenta o contexto contínuo (ação mais longa em andamento). Em seguida, «my phone kept buzzing» usa o passado simples com sentido de ação repetida/persistente que aconteceu enquanto eu cozinhava — portanto, função de interrupção/ocorrência.

Por fim, «friends who were planning a surprise party» volta ao Past Continuous para indicar uma ação simultânea e em desenvolvimento por parte dos amigos. Assim, a combinação transmite corretamente tempo, duração e simultaneidade.
