Question

Replace the blank with the future perfect continuous tense of the word given in the bracket:

By the time she gets to work at 8 a.m., she ____________________ for over an hour. (drive)

• A. driving
• B. will have been driving
• C. will be driving
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B will have been driving

The future perfect continuous tense is a verb tense that indicates an action that will continue up until a point in the future.

Option B is correct. The future perfect continuous tense follows the construction will + have + been + the verb's present participle (verb root + -ing). Thus the future perfect continuous of "live" required here is "will have been driving".

Option A is incorrect. It lacks the construction "will + have + been" to make it future perfect continuous.

Option C is incorrect. "Will be driving" is future continuous and not future perfect continuous.

Option D is incorrect as option B is the right answer.
