Dear Rose,

D = "For most of the time throughout the picnic, the boys were playing football while the girls were picking flowers".

( �Throughout � = �During �)

I think idthemagicman is right.

The problem I see with the other answers is (while they make sense), they don �t really have the same tense flow as were/were.

(x) examples.

Have and Had, Are and Will, and so on you see.

My opinion anyway.
