Answer 1

Correct tense: The enthusiastic voters had been shouting slogans outside the party office for last two hours.

Use of present perfect continuous tense:

• A present perfect continuous tense is used to show an action that started in the past and still happening.
• Formula for this tense: Subject + had been + verb III (ing) + since/for + object.
• Since is used for a fixed time, for is used for quantitative things.
• Example: They have been living in this house since 1985.
