| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) We are planning an event which will happen soon. | (IV) will happen | "Soon" points to the future, and the subject "which" (the event) is singular, so will happen is needed. |
| (B) I must get to the post office before it closes. | (I) closes | In a time clause with "before", the simple present is used for a future action, and "it" takes the singular verb closes. |
| (C) It is probably too late to call Ravi, he would have gone to bed, surely. | (II) would have gone | "Would have gone" makes a confident guess about something already done. It is too late because he has probably gone to bed. |
| (D) Forthcoming books are those that we think are going to be available soon. | (III) are going | "Are going to" shows a planned or expected future. The plural "those" (books) needs are. |
