Question

Use the past perfect continuous tense form of the verb in the following sentence:
Mike __________ presentations at work all day before he finally had a break.

• A. had been making
• B. had made
• C. was making
• D. made

Answer 1

The correct option is A had been making

The past perfect continuous form of any verb is obtained by adding 'had been' to the base verb + ing. The verb in question is 'to make'; for which the base/ root form is simply 'make'. Applying the above, we clearly get 'had been making', which is Option A) - the correct answer. B) is simply past perfect tense; C) is past continuous and lastly, D) is simple past tense.
