Welcome to the forum, priya.

Sorry, he can't speak to you right now, he........ a shower.
a) have b) having c) is having d) is have

I thought that b) is correct.

C is correct. It would be more natural to say, 'I think that c) is correct' or 'I thought that c) was correct'.

You need a question mark in your thread title - "Is this correct?"
You need to start each sentence with a capital letter - "Sorry ..."

So, let's look at your question.


Your choice of b) is incorrect would result in "he having a shower". That is not a construction in any tense. The statement needs the present continuous because the person is in the shower at the same time as someone wants to talk to him.

The correct answer is c)

Sorry, he can't speak to you right now, he is having a shower.

a) should be has, right?
He have is incorrect, I think.

In AmE it would be, "is taking a shower".

Or simply "he's in the shower."

[my self]

thus is correct

[emsr2d2]

a) should be has, right?
He have is incorrect, I think.

With multiple choice answers, it's only important that one answer is absolutely correct and the others are completely wrong. Consequently, it doesn't matter what the question said as the suggested answer for a) as long as it's wrong.

The sentence "He has a shower" is grammatically fine but makes no sense in the context of the question.

thus is correct
