Question

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word-
I'll ask him what he _____ for lunch.
a) Was having
b) Are having
c) Have
d) Should have
e) Will have

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given phrase/sentence carefully. Try to make out the meaning of it and find the subject or the predicate or the main object of the sentence.

Complete answer:
The given sentence conveys that the speaker will ask someone if he is willing to have lunch in the future. The given sentence is in the future tense, so the answer should also me in the future tense.
Now let us examine all the options to find out the correct option -
Option ‘a' is Was having. It is not the correct option because “was having” is past continuous tense but the sentence is in the present tense.
Option ‘b' is Are having. It is not the correct option because “are having” is used in the plural form but the following sentence is in the singular form.
Option ‘c' is Have. It is not the correct option because “have” does not provide the correct meaning to a particular sentence.
Option ‘d' is Should have. It is not the correct option because it would make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option ‘e' is Will have. It is the correct option because it perfectly fits providing meaning to the sentence.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct option. Here, the correct word to be filled in is - will have. Hence, option 'e' is the correct option.

Note:
Don't confuse between 'should have' and 'will have'. It Should is used when someone is a must to do something. Here, it is up to him if he has to have lunch or not.
