Jawaban yang sesuai adalah (B) are working on their research reports.

Pembahasan:
Soal ini meminta kita melengkapi kalimat dalam dialog.

Terjemahan dari dialognya adalah:
Mr. Rudy : What are the students doing? (Apa yang sedang dilakukan para siswa?)
Mrs. Mira : The students _____ at the moment. (Para siswa _____ saat ini).

Dialog tersebut menggunakan Present Continuous Tense. Peristiwa dalam dialog tersebut sedang berlangsung atau terjadi saat ini. Maka, kalimat rumpang pada dialog tersebut menggunakan Present Continuous Tense.

Rumus dari Present Continuous Tense adalah S + am/is/are + V -ing + O/C. To be 'am' digunakan untuk subjek I. To be 'is' digunakan untuk S tunggal. Sedangkan, to be 'are' digunakan untuk S jamak.

S dalam kalimat rumpang adalah 'the students' (para siswa), yaitu S jamak, maka to be yang digunakan adalah 'are'.

Perhatikan pilihan jawabannya:

(A) were (to be Past) working (V -ing) on their research reports. 
Jawaban ini menggunakan Past Continuous Tense dengan to be 'were' (S jamak).

(B) are (to be present) working (V -ing) on their research reports.
Jawaban ini menggunakan Present Continuous Tense dengan to be 'are'.

(C) has worked (V3) on their research reports.
Jawaban ini menggunakan Present Prefect Tense.

(D) would have worked (V3) on their research reports.
Jawaban ini menggunakan Past Future Perfect Tense.

(E) was (to be Past) working (V -ing) on their research reports. 
Jawaban ini menggunakan Past Continuous Tense dengan to be 'was' (S tunggal).

Maka, jawaban yang cocok untuk mengisi bagian rumpang adalah (B). Kalimat lengkapnya menjadi 'The students are working on their research reports' (Para siswa sedang mengerjakan laporan penelitian mereka).

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah (B) are working on their research reports.

Mr. Rudy : What are the students doing? Mrs. Mira : The students ... at the moment. A. were working on their research reports B. are working on their research reports C. has worked on their research reports D. would have worked on their research reports E. was working on their research reports
