Простите, хотела бы узнать, почему в первом задании в 4а вопросе использовано время past perfect, а не past perfect continuous? Там же написано в течении 20 лет. Я понимаю, что в задании сказано либо past perfect либо present perfect. Просто хочу узнать можно ли подобное предложение строить в past perfect continuous?

В первом задании 2а. Говорится что его друзья женаты в течение 5 лет и продолжают состоять в браке, даже после рождения ребенка, т.е действие НЕ закончилось (состоят в браке) в момент рождения ребенка. А для Past Perfect и Past Perfect Continuous важно чтобы одно событие было раньше, чем другое и уже закончилось до того, как началось другое. Поясните пожалуйста.
