By the end of this year, he _ his degree.
Correct answer: A. Will have completed
- A. Will have completed
- B. Completed
- C. Will complete
- D. Completes
Explanation
The correct answer is will have completed because the sentence talks about an action that will be completed by a specific point in the future (by the end of this year). The future perfect tense ('will have completed') is used for actions that will be finished before a particular time in the future. 'Completed' is in the past tense, 'will complete' is in the future simple tense which does not indicate completion before a set time, and 'completes' is in the present tense, which is not appropriate here.
