Question:

Choose the correct sentence:

A. He has been sleeping while 2 hours
B. He has been sleeping since 2 hours
C. He has been sleeping for 2 hours
D. He has been sleeping on 2 hours

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A

B

D

C

Correct Answer:

C

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - C

"for 2 hours" – Correct usage with the present perfect continuous tense to show the duration of an action.

 

  • A. while 2 hours – "While" is not used to show duration with a time quantity.

  • B. since 2 hours – "Since" is used with a specific point in time (e.g., since 2 PM), not a duration.

  • D. on 2 hours – "On" is incorrect in this context.
