«A pesar de que el tráfico era denso, _____ a tiempo al aeropuerto».

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. llegamos

Analysis: When 'a pesar de que' refers to a factual, accomplished reality in the past, the indicative preterite ('llegamos') is used in the main clause. Answer: llegamos. Why not the others: 'lleguemos' is present subjunctive; 'llegáramos' is imperfect subjunctive; 'llegando' is a gerund.
