Answer 2

a) I have been writing this book for a year. b) Omar has been playing basketball since he was 10 years old. c) Jennifer has been working since 9 o'clock. d) My friend's sister has been looking for another job for a month. e) The group of tourists has been waiting at the hotel Kazakhstan since an hour ago.

Note: In sentence (e), it is more natural to use "since" instead of "for" because we are referring to a specific point in time (one hour ago) when they arrived at the hotel.
