Correct Answer: standing between
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
The past continuous tense is formed with the past tense of to be (in this case, were ) and the present participle of the main verb (in this case, standing ).
This construction is suitable when describing an action that was happening at a certain point in the past and emphasises the duration or continuity of that action.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "There were creatures standing between the carriage shafts."
