Question

Since the band announced the release of their new album, the phone hasn't stopped ringing. Many fans ________ to ask about the exact time.

A．were calling	B．had called
C．are calling	D．call

Answer 1

C

C 考察动词时态。句意：自从那支乐队宣布了要发行新的专辑的消息，电话铃声就不停地响。很多粉丝一直都打电话询问具体的发行时间。根据句中的hasn’t stopped ringing可知询问具体的时间内这件事情现阶段正在发生，应该使用现在进行时。故C正确。
