Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb from the given options in present continuous tense:
Why ___________(look) at me like that? Stop it!

• A. are you looking
• B. will you look
  
• C. were you looking
  
• D. have you looked
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A are you looking

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 'looking' is happening now. The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle (root verb+ing). Hence, Option A is correct.

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