Question

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the given sentence:
Sid ___________ keeping well. Please take him to the school nurse.

• A. hadn't had
• B. haven't been
• C. hasn't been
• D. hasn't had

Answer 1

The correct option is C hasn't been

The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time. Here, the illness of Sid started in the past and continued till present. The present perfect continuous is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing). Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express the relevant tense, hence they're incorrect.
