Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
I don’t think your sister is enjoying the party. She ______ at her watch for the last half an hour.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. has been looking.
- "Has been looking" is the present perfect continuous tense, which describes an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. Using "for the last half an hour" indicates that the action has been ongoing for a period, which aligns with the present perfect continuous tense.
Thus, the sentence conveys that the sister has been repeatedly checking her watch over the past half hour, suggesting she might not be enjoying the party.
