Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. Can you arrange for the consignment _________ delivered on Monday? |
is being to be for being |
to be |
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is to be. The sentence "Can you arrange for the consignment _________ delivered on Monday?" is a question about the future. The speaker is asking the listener to arrange for the consignment to be delivered on Monday. The word "to be" is the infinitive form of the verb "to be," which is used to express future tense. The other options are not appropriate because they do not express future tense. The word "is" is the present tense of the verb "to be." The word "being" is the present participle of the verb "to be." The word "for being" is not a grammatically correct phrase. |
