Correct as it uses "will" to indicate future action, agreeing with the subject "she."

Incomplete and incorrect.

In this case, "will" correctly fills the gap to indicate a future action or state. The other options are incorrect because they do not fit grammatically or semantically.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
"Are going to" is another way to form the simple future but does not fit this sentence structure.
Option B:
"Will been" is incorrect; "will be" is needed here.
Option C:
"Will be" would be correct, but "will" alone fits better in this context.
Option D:
"Will" is the correct answer as it forms the simple future tense properly.

"Won't" indicates negation of the future and does not fit here.

Show Answer

Show Answer
Explanations:
