Answer 1

Hint: Look for pointers suggesting which tense to use. The actions are ongoing in the given sentence.

Complete answer:
We can discern whether the actions are ongoing or not by one verb that is given in the sentence. The verb ‘arrives’ indicates that the action is ongoing. The tense used for this is Present Continuous Tense.
This tense can also be used to describe an event that is going to take place in the near future. The tense is constructed by using a modal auxiliary like ‘am’ or ‘is’ + verb + ing.

Now, let’s look at each option one by one:

option ‘a’ - All the verbs are in the present continuous tense, and all of them are grammatically correct given the context of the sentence. So, this is the correct option.
option ‘b’ - This option is incomplete. The given verbs are in past continuous tense. However, it will be incorrect due to one missing verb. So, this is an incorrect option.
option ‘c’ - All the verbs are in the present perfect tense. This is not the required tense, as it would not be grammatically correct for the given sentence. So, this is an incorrect option.
option ‘d’ - All the verbs are in the simple future tense. This is not the required tense, as this would be incorrect for the given sentence. So, this is an incorrect option.

So, we come to the conclusion that the correct answer is option ‘a’.

Note: Choose the most appropriate option given the context of the sentence. Make sure all the forms of verb are aligning with each other and work with each other perfectly.
