Considering the underlined expression in the sentence “Flight operations to and from Chennai have been affected due to heavy rains” (lines 8 and 9), it is correct to say that
the present perfect tense was used to refer to a temporary continuing action.
the present perfect tense was used to announce news of a recent event.
the past perfect tense was used to say that something was in progress.
the simple past tense was used to announce an earlier past.
Gabarito:
the present perfect tense was used to refer to a temporary continuing action.
