The correct option is A Will make
The sentence talks about result of telling the story. The story itself will be told in the future as indicated by the word “ wait ” within the sentence. hence, we are talking about an event that will happen or will be completed as a result of another event in the future. So, here we will have to use the future tense.
Option A: it is incorrect. ‘ is making ’ represents that the result of the story is taking place in the present but since we already know that the result of the story happens in the future, also the story itself is in the future; hence, this option is inconsistent and incorrect.
Option B: it is correct. ‘ will make ’ means that the result of the story will happen afterwards. It is grammatically consistent and makes a meaningful sentence. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option C: it is incorrect. ‘ made ’ represents the past tense. We already know that the events will take place in the future. Hence, this option is inconsistent and is incorrect.
Option D: it is incorrect. ‘ Are making ’ similar to option A represents the event that is going on in the present also the auxiliary verb within the sentence represents plural subjects. it is grammatically inconsistent and does not make a meaningful sentence. Hence, it is incorrect.
