Resolução passo a passo

1. O present continuous é formado com o verbo auxiliar to be no presente (am, is, are) seguido do verbo principal com -ing, e descreve uma ação que está acontecendo no momento da fala. Passo 2: Analisando as alternativas, a frase B, The teacher is explaining the importance of watering and sunlight, usa is (sujeito singular the teacher) + explaining, estrutura correta para uma ação em andamento. Passo 3: A alternativa A está errada porque, embora use are, o verbo set up não recebe -ting (deveria ser are setting up). Passo 4: A alternativa C está errada porque usa o presente simples (watch, take), que descreve hábitos ou fatos gerais, não ações em andamento. Passo 5: A alternativa D está errada porque, apesar de ter -ing, o sujeito Groups of children é plural e exige are, não is. Passo 6: A alternativa E está errada porque usa o presente simples (taste), e não a forma com be + -ing. Passo 7: O gabarito oficial B está correto, e a análise confirma essa resposta.
