Question

My grandmother ________ roses all her life; whenever I see flowers, I’ll always think of her．

1. A.
   has been growing
2. B.
   grows
3. C.
   is growing
4. D.
   would grow

Answer 1

A
后一个分句用的是一个一般现在时态，说明前面也应该谈到现在的情况。再由第一个分句的时间状语all her life说明过去也“种植玫瑰”，从过去一直延续到现在的动作应该选择现在完成进行时态，故选择A项。
