It's true that the sentence could be right with either conjugation if there is no context, but you were told: "For a period of time", so the hint was already given.
·Cuando María salió de la escuela, trabajó en un restorán. (Maybe until she found another job.) -> For a period of time.
·María estudiaba en la universidad y trabajaba en un restaurante al mismo tiempo. -> This is ongoing.


#19 is definitely "trabajó", as "principio y fin" are given by the six months period.
...están equivocadas las dos frases...
Thank you!

Ok I see. "For a period of time" just seems a lot more vague period of time versus six months, but I get the idea. Thank you!
