Correct Answer

A. C. is talking

Explanation

The correct answer is "c. is talking" because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. The word "listen" suggests that the speaker is referring to a current action, and "is talking" is the correct form of the verb to match the subject "Your father."

- C. aren’t been wearing
- D. haven’t worn
Correct Answer

A. B. weren’t wearing

Explanation

The correct answer is "weren't wearing" because the sentence is referring to an action that was happening in the past. The use of "were" indicates the past tense, and "wearing" is the correct verb form to use in this context. The other options do not correctly convey the past tense or the action of wearing the hat.

The correct answer is "c. were all sitting". This is because the sentence is in the past continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action in the past. The phrase "were all sitting" correctly conveys that the action of sitting was already in progress when the headmaster entered the classroom. The other options do not accurately reflect the past continuous tense or the timing of the action.
