Certainly! I"ll provide you with detailed answers to each question:

1. Has Max not been reading this particular comic book?
Answer: To answer this question, we need to understand past continuous tense. In this sentence, "Has not been reading" implies that the action of not reading the comic book started in the past and is still ongoing. So, if we assume that the particular comic book we are referring to is a part of the ongoing reading habit of Max, we can say "Yes, Max has not been reading this particular comic book," indicating that he has not been reading it recently or consistently. However, if Max has never read this comic book at all, the answer would be "No, Max has not been reading this particular comic book as he hasn"t read it before." This distinction depends on the specific context.

2. For how long have you been wearing this earring?
Answer: In order to determine how long the person has been wearing the earring, we can use present perfect continuous tense. This tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, is still ongoing, and has a connection to the present. So, to calculate the time, we need to know when the person started wearing the earring. For example, if the person started wearing it three hours ago, we can say "I have been wearing this earring for three hours." The length of time will vary depending on the specific situation.

3. Has he been sketching matchstick figures throughout the entire lesson?
Answer: To answer this question, we again need to understand the past continuous tense. "Has been sketching" suggests that the action of sketching matchstick figures started in the past and is still ongoing. When we say "throughout the entire lesson," it indicates that the sketching activity has been happening continuously during the entire duration of the lesson. So if the answer is "Yes, he has been sketching matchstick figures throughout the entire lesson," it means that he has continuously been engaged in this activity without any interruptions throughout the entire duration of the lesson. Please note that the answer may change depending on the specific context and the actions of the person in question.
