Answer 2

Sure, I can help you. It looks like you need to choose between the present tense (simple or continuous) and the past tense for each sentence. Here are the correct forms:

1. Billy is sleeping. Don't make any noise. (present continuous)
2. Mark is working very hard these days. (present continuous)
3. I talked to Carol on the phone a few days ago. (past simple)
4. John is staying with his cousin at present. (present continuous)
5. Jane broke her arm last Monday. (past simple)

Remember, the present continuous tense is used to talk about actions that are happening right now or around this time. The past simple tense is used to talk about completed actions in the past with a specific time reference.
