• The conscience of people was not high regarding the devastating effects of the density of the population and now it has posed them a life-threatening danger of the whole island collapsing into the sea one day.

4. (c) high density of population.

• As continuous tense includes "ing" and here "has been" is also used so it is present perfect continuous.

• It is the tense which indicates that something or some action will happen in the future at some time and hence we use will be or shall be.

7. (a) He has finished all his work.

• Present perfect tense includes those past actions which continue or are related to the present and it includes auxiliary verbs of "has" and "have".
