Hello!
Could you, please, explain to me why we use which after every single thing in this sentence?

Test No. incompl/elem-10 "Present Tense", question 4
(Gullible and naive)


4. ........ every single thing which that man says?


(a) Do you believe

(b) Is you believing

(c) Are you believing

Hello,

The correct answer to the question is (a), “Do you believe”. However, could you please tell me how to use “Are you believing”?
For example, does the following sentence make sense?

1. Are you believing every single thing which that man is saying?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

I answered right, but I quoted this question because I'm wondering if the present continuous might be used with the verb to believe. Are there any instances of its use or is it somehow forbidden? Thank you.

Hello,

I have just discovered that “believe” is always in the stative form which is unlike “think” and “have”. Both “think” and “have” are either stative verbs or dynamic verbs depending on their meanings.

According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary Online (Oxford University Press | OALD home page), “believe” is not used in the progressive tenses:

Thank you.

This is right? The correct answer is "Do you belive" because the simply fact of we NEED to use DO? Or is it because in the second sentece the verb is says and not saying?
