What is the diffrence between...?
While I read a question in 'Grammar in use' (Essential version), I've got a question.
The thing is the answer of the question is only 'E'.
I think 'C' also right answer because 'C' is simple past so it match with the next sentence.
If my idea is wrong please, let me know why it's wrong with some explain.
Thanks.

In this example they are practically interchangeable.
We will need to change the verb to dissect a difference:
He used to paint for me. [indicates that he painted more than one painting for me over a longer period of time]
He painted for me. [indicates that he painted one painting for me]

Hello!
Both C and E are correct because they mean that it is in the past.
