Ans: In a hotel.

• A. Where you would go to stay?
• B. Where are you going to stay?
• C. Where were you going to stay?
• D. Where was you going to stay?

Answer 1

The correct option is B Where are you going to stay?

The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be: am, is, are.

In this particular sentence, we can understand that the question is based on something which is going to happen. The present continuous tense is a grammatical tense that can be used to describe when an action happened, or may happen. You can use it to describe both events that are happening in the present – right now, while you are talking about something, or in the future – something that may or will happen later on. So, we would be using present continuous tense for the given blank.

Now, in continuous tense, the verb always ends with an '-ing', thus this would eliminate option A. "Was" and "were" are only used in case of past tense eliminating C and D. This makes B the correct answer.
