Correct Answer: work


Solution : The first opti on is the correct choice.

Explanation : The correct sentence uses the present participle form "working" after the auxiliary verb "have." When forming the present perfect continuous tense, we use "have/has been" followed by the present participle (verb + ing). In this case, "working" is the correct present participle form of the verb "work".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Have they been working in that particular shop for several years?"
