Объяснение:

1 действие происходит, точнее, не происходит в данный момент - Present Continuous

2 Хотя речь о ситуации в данный момент, глаголы состояния не употребляются во временах группы Continuous. Поэтому используется форма Present Simple.

3 Действие длится сейчас, Present Continuous

4, 5, 6, 7 - Глаголы состояния, см. объяснение для пункта 2.

8 говорящий называет действие, происходящее в момент речи - Present Continuous.
