Question II please answer

I __________ since breakfast and I’m very tired.

a. was travelling

b. am travelling

c. have been travelling

as there is 'since breakfast'....so i guess it's still going on, so it should be 'have been travelling'

indeed the second part of the sentence is i am very tired that is present tense. please explain.

Thanks

Present goes with present perfect, so have been traveling with I'm tired should be no surprise. have been traveling is correct. The present perfect continuous goes well with a since clause.
