Question

Complete the sentence using the appropriate option:

Jack _________ very nice to me at the moment. I wonder why.

• A. was being
• B. is being
• C. has been
• D. will be

Answer 1

The correct option is B is being

We use the present continuous tense with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Here, the action of being nice is happening now. The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle (root verb+ing). Hence, Option B is correct.

The rest of the options either indicate that the action has already happened (Options A and C) or that the action will happen in distant and indefinite future (Option D), hence they're incorrect.
