Question

The __________ is used for an event that continues to occur at the present moment in time.

Answer 1

I just take the test, the answer is:

C) present progressive 

Answer 2

Present progressive, or present continuous is the correct answer. That is the tense that we use if we want to show a continued or ongoing activity in the present.(e.g. "I am reading a book." It means that I am currently in the process of reading a book). So, actions that are happening at the time of speaking, such as this one are expressed by Present continuous/progressive.
