Pick the correct form: I ____ this novel since last week.
AHave been reading
BRead at the present time
CWas reading at the time
DWill read in future
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Have been reading
1. 'Since last week' = duration from past until now.
2. That requires Present Perfect Continuous.
3. Form: have/has been + verb-ing.
4. So 'have been reading' is correct.
