For this one, I hope you can hear ça était? (Please listen enough times so that you are sure you hear ça était and not c’était. You want your ears to be able to distinguish between those two.)

And, notice that dans une has a Z sound in there for the S. I like the une here, because the N is as clearly articulated as you might expect. This is very natural conversational French une.
