Question

Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
I am used to ___________ in queues.

• A. stand
• B. standing
• C. stand up
• D. standing still

Answer 1

The correct option is B standing

Option B, 'standing' is the most appropriate answer to this question because one of the uses of the present continuous tense is to indicate habits or trends. As is mentioned in the sentence, the speaker is used to waiting in queues. Hence this is the correct answer.

Options A, C and D are incorrect because they are not in the present continuous tense and hence would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.
