Instructions

Solution

Share

The form of a verb changes depending on whether it refers to an event taking place in the past, present, or future. Since the tense of the statement is future and that of option B is present continuous, option B can be ruled out. In a similar fashion, since the tense of option C is present perfect, option C can also be eliminated.

As the original sentence is better than the alternatives, the correct option is A.
