Question

which of the following most literally expresses an action that is currently happening? a. usted está con pedro. b. ella está caminando. c. ellos comen. d. nosotros bailamos.

Explanation:

In Spanish, the present - progressive tense is used to express an action that is currently happening. "Ella está caminando" is in the present - progressive tense (estar + present participle). "Usted está con Pedro" means "You are with Pedro" and is a state of being, not an action in progress. "Ellos comen" and "Nosotros bailamos" are in the simple present tense, which can express habitual actions or general truths, not necessarily an action happening right now.

Answer:

B. Ella está caminando.
