Question

Lately, the neighbors next door __________ their house. It will look very nice when it’s finished. Question 23 options: a) have painting b) have been painting c) have been paint d) have painted

Answer 1

Answer:

Have been painting

Explanation:

In this sentence, if you read them all aloud, the phrase "have been painting" is the only one that works.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since the second sentence is not past tense (It will look very nice when it’s finished.) the answer is "have been painting". Another reason that it's this answer is that the first word in the first sentence is "Lately". Had it been any other answer it would've sounded silly.

Sorry if that didn't make sense, these things are hard to explain.
