Ans: Not yet. I ___________________

• A. I have just gone to have it.
• B. I will just go to have it.
  
• C. I am just going to have it.
  
• D. I just went to have it.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C I am just going to have it.

Option C is the correct answer because it is in the present continuous tense. One of the uses of this tense is that it is used to talk about the immediate future when an action or situation is part of an arrangement or intention. Since from the sentence it is clear that it is the intention of the person to have dinner soon, the use of present continuous tense here is appropriate.

Options A and B are incorrect because they are not in the present continuous tense.

Option D is incorrect because it is in the past tense. Sentences in the past tense talks about an event or action that has already taken place. Since it is mentioned in the question that the activity has not been done yet, the use of past tense in the given context is illogical.
