Explicação
Para identificar o tempo verbal predominante, observamos os verbos principais do trecho:
- “Thompson added ...” (added = passado simples)
- “Her ridiculing ... meant that ...” (meant = passado simples)
- “the Nazi Party ordered ...” (ordered = passado simples)
- “to leave Germany” (leave = infinitivo, não é o tempo predominante do texto)
- “She was ...” (was = passado simples do verbo to be)
A maioria das ações é narrada como fatos concluídos no passado, caracterizando o simple past como tempo verbal predominante.
Alternativa correta: (B).
