Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Nani will be at the temple at six tomorrow morning. — Incorrect.
- This is the simple future of “be”: will + be.
- “Be” is the main verb here (Nani will be present at the temple), and there is no -ing verb.
Option 3: Nani will have made all the laddoos by eight tomorrow morning. — Incorrect.
- This is the future perfect: will have + past participle (V3).
- It has “will have made”, not “will be” + V-ing.
Option 4: Nani is making laddoos for the temple tomorrow. — Incorrect.
- This is the present continuous: is + V-ing.
- It shows a plan for tomorrow, but it has “is”, not “will be”.
