He and his family… in poverty since their company went bankrupt.

has been living
Correct Answer
A. have been livingExplanation
The correct answer is "have been living". This is because the sentence is referring to "he and his family" as the subject, which is a plural noun.

Therefore, "have been living" is the correct form of the verb to match the subject and convey that they have been continuously living in poverty since their company went bankrupt.Rate this question:

The present perfect continuous tense "have been staying up" is used to express an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. Therefore, it implies that the speaker has been staying awake all night, leading to their current state of sleepiness.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. have you not been attendingExplanation
The correct answer is "have you not been attending." This is the correct form of the question because it follows the structure of a present perfect continuous question. The auxiliary verb "have" is used before the subject "you," followed by the negative form "not," and then the main verb "been attending" in the present participle form. This structure is used to ask about an action that started in the past, has been ongoing, and is still happening at the time of speaking.Rate this question:

In this case, the person has been working with the research team since January and continues to do so. The use of "have been working" would be incorrect as it is not the correct verb form for the pronoun "she".Rate this question:
