Car rental agencies _______ a boom in business ever since new restrictions made it harder for people to buy an automobile in the capital.

A.has enjoyedB.have been enjoyingC.are enjoyingD.enjoyed

B

解析试题分析:考察时态。本题的关键在于后面的ever since(自从)引导的时间状语从句,该时间状语常常与现在完成时连用。句意:自从新的限制让首都人民购买汽车变得更加困难,汽车租赁已经有了很快的发展。该句的主语是复数形式,故B正确。
考点:考察时态
点评:现在完成进行时表示从过去某个时间开始到现在一直都在发生,都在进行的动作。强调动作的持续性。
