Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The bicycle..........on the wet grass for several days
Answer Details
The correct option is "has been lying". This is because the sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is formed using the auxiliary verb "has/have" + "been" + present participle (-ing form) of the verb. The sentence describes an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "lie" is "lying", and the correct auxiliary verb is "has been".
