Answer 2

The blanks are filled as:

"What are you doing now?" He replied, "I am writing a few essays as part of my preparation for the examination"​.

Explanation:

• The first blank has to be filled with an appropriate interrogative word from the options when and what.
• As noticeable as the question is addressed to a task that is performed, the phrase " are you doing now" gives a hint of a task being performed.
• And to know which is that task, the option 'what' is filled in the blank as it represents knowing something that is happening. The word 'when' will be suitable in cases where there is a question that is asked related to time.
• The second blank has to be filled with the correct form of the verb 'prepare'. The noun form of prepare which is 'preparation' is given along with the verb 'preparing' in the continuous tense.
• It's quite easy to know that the correct option will be 'preparation' as it fits the sentence grammatically correct.
