Solution

The correct option is C After I study, I will be knowing all the answers for the test.
Option C is the correct answer since the sentence is grammatically incorrect. The future continuous tense can only be used for action verbs since it is possible to do them for a duration of time. "Know" is not an action verb, but a stative verb.that describes a state of existence. "Know" is not an action that can be performed for a duration of time. The correct sentence would then be: After I study, I will know all the answers for the test.

Options A, B and D are all future continuous sentences as these follow the construction: will + be + present participle (base verb + -ing).
