Answer 1

Answer:

B. Jerry has played the guitar for more than five years.

Explanation:

Present perfect tense represents the action that has been started in the past and has not completed in the present. The action as been still going and has not completed in the present. The second sentence is the example of the simple present tense in which the action of playing guitar has started in the past but has not ended in the present. For more than five years, Jerry has been playing the guitar and the sentence do not mean that has ended playing it in the present. Also, in the present perfect tense the auxiliary verb 'has'/'have' is used with the participle form of the verb.
