You _ the results by the time we return.
Correct answer: C. Will have got
- A. Will get
- B. Are getting
- C. Will have got
- D. Got
Explanation
The correct answer is 'will have got' because the future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will be completed before a certain point in the future. The phrase 'by the time we return' indicates that the action of getting the results will be finished before we return. 'Will get' does not imply completion before a future time, 'are getting' is present continuous and does not fit the context, and 'got' is past tense, which is not applicable for future events.
