Question

Choose from the options given below so as to complete the sentence correctly:

I ______ on this project for months without success.

• A. Have been worked
• B. Have been working
• C. Would have working
• D. Had worked

Answer 1

The correct option is B Have been working

The sentence talks about an action that began in the past and is continuing in the present, as can be inferred from 'for months' in the sentence.

Present perfect continuous tense describes an action that began in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future. This tense is formed by using “has/have been” and the present form of the verb (the verb form ending in “–ing”). For example - I have been living here for years.

Option B is in the right form of present perfect continuous, therefore is correct.

Option A and C do not convey the meaning of the sentence, whereas option D is in past perfect form. Therefore options A, C, D are incorrect.

Option B is the correct answer.
