Answer 1

Hint: A verb is a content word that denotes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. It is the word class that serves as the predicate of a sentence.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options given correctly provides the future tense verb form to fit in the sentence.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'does, be', refers to ‘does’ which is in the present tense. Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as we need the future tense form.
Option (b.), ‘will, be', refers to ‘will’ which is in the future tense, and ‘be’ is used to explain the state of the subject in the future. Therefore, option (b.) is correct as it fits in the sentence and makes sense.
Option (c.), ‘is, being', refers to present continuous tense. Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as we need future tense in the sentence.
Option (d.), ‘will, to be', refers to ‘to be’ which means ‘to exist’. Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as we need a verb instead of an infinitive in the future tense.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall what future tense is. The future tense is a verb tense that expresses actions or states in the future.
For example- She will go to the movies.
