Thanks a lot.
My answers were the same except the second. What rule is it? But what about the keys they give? They are not correct, are they?

i think the third one must be " we had been walking along the forest roadfor two hours when we saw a house". when we give the duration using "for" past perfect continuous should be used rather than past continuous with "when"
Plants die if you don�t water them. it is a zero conditional which is used to express general truth |

or We were walking along a forest road when we saw a house.
