At this time next week, we _ over the Atlantic.
Correct answer: A. Will be flying
- A. Will be flying
- B. Fly
- C. Flew
- D. Will have flown
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'will be flying'. The phrase 'At this time next week' indicates a future time when the action will be in progress, which requires the future continuous tense. Option B 'fly' is simply the base form and not suitable for indicating future action. Option C 'flew' is in the past tense, which does not align with the future context. Option D 'will have flown' is the future perfect tense, implying completion before a specific future time, which is not applicable here since the action is ongoing.
