Science fiction is something that is not real and pertains to science.
Option a could not be the correct answer. The statement simply states that a grandfather is telling stories of his childhood. There is no mention or sense of anything scientific about this. For all we know the grandfather could be talking about how he remembers the smell of his mothers cooking. Yes, it is possible he could be talking about his fathers experiments in science. But since there are more than a million other possibilities, it is unlikely this is the correct answer.
Option b could be correct. The statement tells us about a town that takes place on Saturn's moons. Since Saturn is something that is somewhat unknown to us (humans) and is a place that can still be researched this can involve something pertaining to science.
Option c could not be correct. This is because the statement is to bland. This could be talking about anything. His fear could be of heights or snakes or drowning. It could also be possible that his fear is of something that is then solved with scientific research but since there are more than a million other possibilities, it is unlikely this is the correct answer.
Option d could also not be the correct answer. If a story is focusing on a conflict between two friends, then science will probably not be a factor in that. Unless the friends are science geniuses. Then this answer is not likely to be correct. Also, since it states that the MAIN FOCUS is already on the friends then that leaves little room for science.
This leaves the one possible and most likely answer to be correct, which is option b.

Answer:
C. I <u>have just finished</u> reading a wonderful book about space travel.
Explanation:
Consider the following choices:
- A. just finish is incorrect. The ‘just’ should’ve been used with Present Perfect Tense. (Subject + has/have + past participle)
- B. just do finish. Same as A choice, also it wouldn’t make sense or fit the sentence.
- C. Correct structure! Present Perfect is a tense that talks about an event that happened in the past and now it’s still occurring or going on (in general definition) but the tense itself can have many meanings depending on the adverb and additional context. In this case, it means it happened in the past and you’ve <em>just </em>finished the action.
- D. This is Perfect Continuous Tense (Subject + has/have + been + V-ing.) The difference of continuous and simple perfect is that continuous tends to focus on the action or activity itself while simple perfect tends to focus on the result of activity.
Let’s see some examples:
- They’ve been waiting for 2 hours.
- They’ve waited for quite a long time.
Sometimes, the tense tends to differ the meaning. The first sentence means they’ve waited for 2 hours but continuously waiting and waiting which focuses the action. The second sentence means they’ve waited for a long time but we don’t focus whether if they did continuously wait or not - they could’ve missed a day, two or three days for waiting so the tense can have different meaning depending on context, adverb, etc.
