Explanation:

In this text, we need to use the past simple, past continuous, or past perfect tenses to complete the sentences.

1. "When Sarah Knauss (die) on 30 December 1999..." - Here, we use the past simple tense "died" because this action happened at a specific point in the past.
2. "... she (live) in Pennsylvania, USA..." - We need to use the past continuous tense "had lived" because this action happened before the past simple action of dying, and it is a continuous action that was happening up until that point.
3. "... where she (spend) all her life." - Again, we use the past simple tense "had spent" because this action happened before the past simple action of dying.
4. "At the time of her death, only one person (live) longer." - Here, we use the past perfect tense "had lived" because this action happened before the past simple action of dying, and it is an action that was already completed before that time.
5. "Sarah (have) one daughter, who still (live) when Sarah died." - We use the past simple tense "had" to show that Sarah had a daughter, and the past simple tense "lived" to indicate that her daughter was still alive at the time of Sarah's death.
