    Correct Answer
    A. Has been playing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has been playing" because the sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense. "Has been playing" is the correct form of the verb "to play" in the third person singular form (Sam). This tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, is still happening in the present, and may continue into the future. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice for the sentence.

    • Have not receiving

    • Have not received

    Correct Answer
    A. Have not received
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have not received." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense and requires the use of "have" as the helping verb. "Received" is the past participle form of the verb "receive" and is used to indicate that the action of receiving has not yet occurred.

    • Has been practice

    • Have been practice

    • Have been practiced

    Correct Answer
    A. Have been practicing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have been practicing." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The subject "our students" is plural, so the correct verb form is "have been." Additionally, the verb "practice" should be in the gerund form "practicing" to match the tense and subject.

    A. Have made
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have made." This is because the sentence is referring to past mistakes that the speaker has made in their life. The present perfect tense "have made" is used to indicate actions or events that started in the past and continue to the present. In this case, the speaker is emphasizing the ongoing nature of their mistakes throughout their life.

    • Have move

    • Have moved

    • Has been moving

    Correct Answer
    A. Have moved
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have moved." This is because the sentence is referring to both the husband and the speaker (I), indicating a plural subject. In this case, the present perfect tense is used to show that the action of moving has occurred multiple times in the past and is still relevant in the present.

The present perfect continuous tense "has been improving" is used to indicate an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. Therefore, it suggests that Janice's English skills have been continuously getting better since she moved to the United States.
