[amp_mcq option1=”was” option2=”is” option3=”is being” option4=”has been” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: C. is being painted.
The sentence is in the present continuous tense, which is used to describe actions that are happening now or that are happening repeatedly. The other options are not in the present continuous tense.
- Option A, was, is in the past tense. It would be used to describe an action that happened in the past.
- Option B, is, is in the present tense. It would be used to describe an action that is happening now.
- Option D, has been, is in the perfect tense. It would be used to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present.
In this case, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank is is being painted. This is because the sentence is describing an action that is happening now. The house is being painted at the moment.
