• A. guiding
• B. guides
• C. has been guiding
• D. guided

Hint:

Use the present perfect continuous tense ('has/have been -ing') to emphasize the duration of an action that started in the past and continues up to the present or has just finished. Key signal words are "for" and "since".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The phrase "for a month" indicates a duration of an action that started in the past and has continued up to the present moment. The present perfect continuous tense is used to describe such an action. The structure is "has/have + been + verb-ing". The sentence implies that Kedar's work on the project has been ongoing for the past month and is just now concluding as he is about to join a new one. Therefore, the correct verb form is "has been guiding".
