Complete the following sentence with a suitable option:
Jane is from New Zealand. She is travelling around Europe at the moment. So far she has travelled about 1.000 miles. By the end of the trip, ________________ (she / travel) more than 3,000 miles.
a) she’d have travelled
b) she has travelled
c) she is travelling
d) she’ll have travelled

Answer 1

Hint: A verb is a content word that denotes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. The verb 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 includes the answer in the future perfect tense, as this is a perfective tense used to describe an action that will be completed in the future (her total traveling at the end of the trip).
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'she’d have travelled', refers to past perfect tense.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as we need the answer in the future perfect tense. Option (b.), ‘she has travelled', refers to ‘present perfect tense’.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as we need the answer in the future perfect tense. Option (c.), ‘she is travelling', refers to ‘present continuous tense’.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as we need the answer in the future perfect tense. Option (d.), ‘she’ll have travelled', refers to ‘future perfect tense’.
Therefore, option (d.) is correct as this is the tense used to describe an action that will be completed in the future (her total travelling at the end of the trip).

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of tenses. Tense is a grammatical category of verbs used to express distinctions of time. There are three tenses - past, present, and future.
