Sure, I just checked and verified the answers your have presented in the image. Some are correct some are incorrect.

Here is an example to help you with this grammar exercise.

The sentence is: "I don't believe/I'm not believing that you cooked this meal yourself."

The correct answer is I don't believe.

The present simple tense is used to talk about habits, facts, and general truths. The present continuous tense is used to talk about actions that are happening now or around now. In this case, the speaker is expressing their disbelief about something that has already happened (the cooking of the meal), so the present simple tense is the correct choice.

Here are some other examples of how the present simple and present continuous tenses are used:

Present simple: I go to the gym three times a week. The sun rises in the east.
Present continuous: I am eating dinner right now. She is watching a movie.

Here are the final answers : I hope this helps!
