Answer 1

A). Present progressive.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, 'present progressive' tense is described as the tense that reflects a continuing action and therefore, uses a verb form for a present and continuous action that is being occurred or happening 'right now'. It employs 'ing' form of the verb along with the helping verb form of 'to be' in order to mirror the continuity of the action. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as 'present progressive' tense is employed to represent the continuous or ongoing action or to show 'a state of being'. For example:

'Joseph is playing in the park'.

'We are trying to perform the best at the annual fest.'

Answer 2

The correct answer is: present progressive. It is also called continuous present, it is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking, it is also used to describe interrupted actions, that is, an action that started in the past, stopped but will continue to develop later, and the progressive present is used to indicate actions that will happen in the future.
