You seem to have every kind of verb form present in this selection. I'm going to list them all and what they do.

being blind: It is a participle and it is a participle phrase. But is it an adjective?

was is a linking verb for the main clause. It is not a candidate at all.
set is the predicate of the subordinate clause beginning with except not a candidate.

stood second main clause predicate verb.

gazed a verb form for the main clause.

had died. Main clause verb. Not the answer.
having been long enclosed is close. Unfortunately it is a gerund phrase which is an object of a preposition (from). It likely is the second best answer.

hung main clause verb.

found main clause verb

The rest don't matter they are linking verbs or main clause verbs or subordinate clause verbs.

The only one you really could choose is being blind. It describes street.

Insert appropriate form of the verb at this very moment , the international space station _____ ( orbit ) Earth at distance of 2

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Explanation:

We use the simple present tense when we talk about actions that happen often, habitual actions, or truths that usually do not change or that take some time to change. For example: I sleep at 10 in the evening. / Dogs bark and birds fly. / Dora lives in Spain.

Therefore, since the orbit of the International Space Station is a truth that will most likely take long to change, it seems best to use the simple present to complete the sentence. Since the subject is third-person singular, we must add -s to the verb:

- At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Note: Another possibility would be the use of the present continuous: "is orbiting". However, that makes it seem this is just a temporary action that will, at any moment, change.
