I'm sure he __________ the exam; he has studied very hard.
Answer:
will pass
**Rule:** 'Will' is used for making strong predictions based on opinion or belief (e.g., after 'I'm sure', 'I think'). 'Is going to' is used for predictions based on present evidence. While his studying could be seen as evidence (making 'c' possible), 'will' is the more common and natural choice to express personal certainty or belief about the future. Options (a) and (b) are incorrect.
81032
Before the guests arrive, we __________ the house for hours.
Answer:
will have been cleaning
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Continuous Tense (will have been + verb-ing) is used to emphasize the duration of an activity ('for hours') that will happen before another event in the future ('Before the guests arrive'). It focuses on the length of the cleaning process up to that point. The simple future perfect 'will have cleaned' would focus only on the result (a clean house).
81033
The exam __________ difficult, so you should prepare well.
Answer:
is going to be
**Rule:** 'Be going to' is used to make a prediction based on present knowledge or experience. The speaker is advising preparation based on the expectation that the exam will be difficult. This implies a prediction. Option (b) is future perfect. Options (a) and (d) are incorrect.
81034
__________ the door for me, please? My hands are full.
Answer:
Will you open
**Rule:** 'Will you...?' is a standard and polite way to make a request for immediate future action. The speaker is asking for help because of their current situation ('My hands are full'). Options (a), (b), and (d) are grammatically incorrect for making this type of request.
81035
By the time the course ends, you __________ fluent in basic Spanish.
Answer:
will have become
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to describe a change of state that will be completed by a specific future time. The state of 'becoming fluent' will be achieved by the end of the course. Option (b) is a simple prediction, but (c) emphasizes the completed result at a deadline.
81036
They __________ married for a year next month.
Answer:
will have been
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to mark the completion of a duration ('for a year') by a specific future time ('next month'). It emphasizes the milestone being reached. Option (b) 'will be' is grammatically correct but does not carry the same meaning of a completed duration; it simply states their marital status next month.
81037
At this rate, we __________ all our savings by the end of the year.
Answer:
will have spent
**Rule:** The Future Perfect Tense (will have + past participle) is used to describe an action that will be completed by a specific future time. 'By the end of the year' is the future deadline by which the action of spending all savings will be complete. Option (c) 'will be spending' implies the action will be ongoing, not finished. Options (b) and (d) are incorrect tenses.
81038
Our team __________ a new strategy for the next game.
Answer:
is going to develop
**Rule:** The 'be going to' future is used to express a plan or intention. The structure is 'be going to + base form of the verb'. The team has a plan to develop a strategy. Option (a) incorrectly uses the '-ing' form after 'to'. Option (b) incorrectly uses the base form after 'will be'. Option (d) is simple present.
81039
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.
81040
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.
