Select the sentence in which the ‘-ing’ form of verb expresses the continuity of an action/event.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Please do not disturb me. I am preparing for exams.
In option 1, "Reading" is used to refer to the activity of getting information from books. It is not an action word.
In option 2, "Reading" refers to an activity that the subject likes doing. It doesn't represent the action of continuity.
In option 4, "Reading" is used as an adjective to describe the type of glasses that are being used.
Hence, option 3 uses the -ing form correctly as "preparing" is the action verb for doing preparations for the exams.
