He has collected that particular coin for several years. which verb tense describes action that continues to the present or happened sometime before now, as in the bolded phrase?
present perfect
present progressive
past progressive
past perfect

The verb tense that describes an action that started in the past and continues up to the present is the "Present Perfect".

The present perfect is formed by the verb "have/has" and the past participle of a verb. In this case, the present perfect verb is "has collected".

With the present perfect tense we use for or since in order to focus on the duration of the action. In this example, we use the phrase "for several years".

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.

first one is your answer
