- A: has started in an hour — «через час» относится к будущему; расписание, программа — Present Simple: starts («Парад начинается через час»). Вариант B (are still getting ready) верный: действие идёт сейчас.
- B: wear tonight — «сегодня вечером» о плане, который уже решён → Present Continuous: are you wearing. Вариант A — looks — верный: look в значении «выглядеть» — глагол состояния, Present Simple.
- B: for she was a little girl — после «с тех пор как» нужно since: since she was a little girl. For используется с периодом («for ten years»). Present Perfect hasn't been — верно.
- B: he don't like — после he нужен вспомогательный does: doesn't like. Вариант A (never takes part — Present Simple с never) верный.
- A: am trying … for the last three hours — действие длится три часа, связано с настоящим → Present Perfect Continuous: have been trying. Вариант B — is answering — верный, действие идёт сейчас.
