Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
A: Sue lives in London, doesn't she?
B: Yes, she _____________ in London for the last few years.

• A. was living
  
• B. has lived
  
• C. is living
  
• D. has been living

Answer 1

The correct option is D has been living

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 action of living is continuing to the present. The present perfect continuous is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing). Hence, Option D is correct.

The rest of the options either indicate that the action has already happened (Options A and B) or is a continuous action that started in the present (Option C), hence they're incorrect.
