Question

"____ is going to" in the phrase "is going to figure" can be replaced by

• A. has to
• B. will
• C. will have to
• D. had to

Answer 1

The correct option is B will

Option B is the correct answer because in standard English, 'be going to' and 'will' are used to refer to a future event; 'will' is more commonly used to make prediction based on opinion.

Options A and D are incorrect because they are in the present perfect and past perfect tenses which cannot replace the phrase which is in the future tense.

Option C is incorrect because 'will have to' is in the future perfect tense; we use the tense when we are looking back from a point in time when something will have already happened.
