Question

Read about Colin. Choose the correct option as per the situation/timing asked further:

Colin goes to work every day. He leaves home at 8 o'clock and arrives at work at about 8:45. He starts work immediately and continues until 12:30 when he has lunch (which takes about half an hour). He starts work again at 1:15 and goes home at exactly 4:30. Every day he follows the same routine and tomorrow will be no exception.

__________________ at 4:45 tomorrow.

• A. He'll leave from work
• B. He'll be leaving for work
• C. He'll have left from work
• D. He'll have arrived home

Answer 1

The correct option is C He'll have left from work

The future perfect is a verb tense used for actions that will be completed before some other point in the future. It is for talking about an action that will be completed between now and some point in the future. Here, the action of leaving from work will be completed before a specific point of time '4:45'. Hence, Option C is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They do not adhere to the details in the passage:

Option A mentions that he will leave' at 4:45 whereas it's mentioned that "goes home at exactly 4:30".

Option B mentions that he'll be leaving 'for work' but the passage mentions "he leaves home at 8 o'clock".

Option D mentions that 'he'll have arrived home at 4:45' but the passage does not indicate that.

Hence these options are incorrect.
