She __________ for the job, but she is still thinking about it.
Answer:
is going to apply
**Rule:** The 'be going to' form is used to express a future intention or plan. Although she is still thinking, the intention exists. Option (a) 'will apply' would be more of a prediction or a spontaneous decision, which doesn't fit the context of 'still thinking'. Options (b) and (d) are incorrect.
65842
He __________ his final decision after he has consulted his family.
Answer:
will make
**Rule:** This sentence contains a future time clause ('after he has consulted'). The main clause must be in a future tense to describe the subsequent action. The Simple Future ('will make') is the correct choice to state the future intention. The time clause correctly uses the present perfect ('has consulted') to emphasize completion before the main action.
65843
I'm not sure about my plans, but I __________ visit you next weekend.
Answer:
might
**Rule:** Modal verbs like 'might', 'may', or 'could' are used to express future possibility or uncertainty. The phrase 'I'm not sure' clearly indicates uncertainty, making 'might' the most appropriate choice. Option (b) 'am going to' implies a definite plan, which contradicts the first part of the sentence.
65844
He __________ his report by Friday, or the boss will be angry.
Answer:
will have to submit
**Rule:** The structure 'will have to + base verb' is used to express future obligation or necessity. The sentence implies a requirement for him to submit the report by a deadline. Option (c) 'will have submitted' states that the action will be complete, but doesn't convey the sense of obligation. Options (a) and (d) are incorrect tenses.
65845
By the time the pizza arrives, we __________ the movie.
Answer:
will have chosen
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to express that a future action will be completed before another future event. The action of choosing the movie will be finished by the time the pizza arrives. Option (b) implies they will still be in the process of choosing.
65846
This afternoon, our team __________ against our biggest rivals.
Answer:
is playing
**Rule:** The Present Continuous Tense ('is/are' + verb-ing) is used for fixed future plans and arrangements, especially for scheduled events like sports matches. It indicates that the event is definitely happening. Option (a) is also possible for schedules, but (c) is very common. Option (b) is future perfect.
65847
The children are too excited to sleep. They __________ for Santa Claus all night.
Answer:
are going to wait
**Rule:** The 'be going to' future is used to make a prediction based on present evidence. The children's excitement is the current evidence that leads to the prediction about their future action (or intention) of waiting. Option (d) is a more general prediction, less connected to their current state.
65848
Do you think you __________ working here in ten years' time?
Answer:
will still be
**Rule:** This sentence requires the Future Continuous Tense. A common structure is 'will + still + be + verb-ing' to ask if a current action will continue in the future. The question asks about an action in progress ('working') at a specific future point ('in ten years' time'). Therefore, 'will still be' (followed by 'working') is correct. Option (c) would require a duration.
65849
The children are very quiet. I wonder what they __________ up to.
Answer:
are going to get
**Rule:** 'Be going to' is used to predict a future action based on present evidence. The fact that 'the children are very quiet' is the evidence that leads to the suspicion or prediction that they are about to do something mischievous. It's a conclusion drawn from the current situation. Option (a) would be a more general, less evidence-based prediction.
65850
My brother's graduation ceremony __________ next Saturday.
Answer:
is going to be
**Rule:** 'Be going to' can be used to talk about events that are already scheduled to take place. It indicates a future fact or a planned event. The present continuous ('is being') would also be possible, but 'is going to be' is a very common way to announce a scheduled future event. Options (b) and (c) are grammatically incorrect.
