Don't disturb the principal. He ____ in his chamber.
Explanation: This question tests your understanding of verb tenses, specifically the present continuous tense. <br> Present Continuous Tense: The present continuous tense is used to describe actions happening now, at this moment in time. It's formed using the present tense of the verb 'to be' (am, is, are) + the present participle (verb + -ing). <br> The sentence 'Don't disturb the principal' indicates that something is happening at the present moment. The following clause needs a verb that reflects this ongoing action. 'Is sleeping' perfectly conveys this: the principal is currently in the act of sleeping. <br> Why other options are incorrect: <br> A. sleeping: This is the present participle, but it lacks the auxiliary verb ('is') needed to form the present continuous tense. It would be grammatically incorrect and doesn't convey the ongoing action. <br> C. sleeps: This is the simple present tense, indicating a habitual action. While the principal might habitually sleep in his chamber, the sentence implies he's doing so *right now*.<br> D. slept: This is the simple past tense, referring to an action completed in the past. It doesn't fit the context of the sentence, which describes a present action. <br> Therefore, only 'is sleeping' accurately reflects the ongoing action of the principal sleeping at the moment of speaking.
A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
Eagle has been flying in the sky ____ last week.
Explanation: In this sentence, the phrase 'last week' indicates a specific point in time in the past. When we want to express an action that started in the past and continues up to the present moment, we use the present perfect tense along with the preposition 'since.' <br> Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence would be: <br> 'Eagle has been flying in the sky since last week.' <br> Options B, C, and D are incorrect because: <br> Option B: 'for' is used to indicate the duration of time, not the starting point of an action. <br> Option C: 'over' is used to indicate movement across or above something, but it does not convey the correct meaning in this context. <br> Option D: 'before' is used to refer to actions or events that happened prior to a specific point in time, which is not appropriate here. <br> Therefore, the correct choice to complete the sentence is Option A: since.
