Пояснения:

• Речь идет о процессе, имеющем определенный результат (она лежала на солнце => ее кожа красная и чешущаяся) => используем Present Perfect Continuous.

2) It’s nice to see you, Tom. I haven't seen you for ages.

• Акцент ставится на результате, а не на процессе действия => используем Present Perfect.

3) Vicky’s clothes have green stains. She has been painting her room.

• Речь идет о процессе, имеющем определенный результат (Вики красила комнату => на вещах зеленые пятна) => используем Present Perfect Continuous.

4) Henry is not in. He has gone to work.

• Акцент ставится на результате, а не на процессе действия => используем Present Perfect.

5) Martha looks sad. She has failed her class-test.

6) Peter‘s shoes are wet. He has been walking in the rain.

8) Ann hopes to pass her exam. She has been studying hard all week.

• Речь идет о длительном процессе (она старательно училась всю неделю и теперь надеется, что сдаст экзамен) => используем Present Perfect Continuous.

Теория:

Present Perfect используется в случае, когда акцент ставится на результате (на том, что действие завершилось к определенному моменту времени).

Строится по схеме have/has + V3 (Past Participle).

Present Perfect Continuous используется в случае, когда акцент ставится на продолжительности действия.

Строится по схеме have/has + been + Ving (глагол с окончанием -ing).
