Question

Choose the right option to fill the gap. At five o’clock day after tomorrow, he ________ for the train.

• A. wait
• B. has waited
• C. will have been waiting
• D. will be waiting

Hint:

\textbf{Future continuous} → action in progress at a future time (\emph{at 5 o’clock tomorrow, next week, etc.})
\textbf{Future perfect continuous} → duration before a future time (\emph{for two hours, since morning}) Always check whether duration is mentioned.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify the time reference. The phrase “at five o’clock day after tomorrow” refers to a specific point in the future.
Step 2: Decide the appropriate tense. To describe an action that will be in progress at a definite time in the future, we use the future continuous tense: \[ \text{will be + verb-ing} \]
Step 3: Analyse the options.
wait — simple present, incorrect for future time.
has waited — present perfect, not used with future time expressions.
will have been waiting — future perfect continuous; requires emphasis on duration \emph{before} a future time (not given here).
will be waiting — correct future continuous form.
Step 4: Select the correct option.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{will be waiting}} \]
