The sentence uses the past simple tense correctly to describe a completed action in the past. The other sentences have errors in verb tense usage. A should use the past continuous tense ("was working") to describe an ongoing action in the past. B should use the past perfect tense ("had been working") to describe an action that occurred before another past action ("was tired"). D should use the past perfect tense ("had seen") because the action occurred before "yesterday morning." E should use the simple past tense ("tried") because it already indicates past time, and "was tasting" should be changed to "tasted."
