Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

A verb tense is identified by its auxiliary structure. The Future Continuous tense describes an action that will be in progress at some point in the future. Its fixed formula is: subject + will be + the present participle (verb + -ing).

Application

Break the verb phrase "will be coming" into its parts:

  1. will — the modal that places the action in the future.

  2. be — the auxiliary that signals the continuous (in-progress) aspect.

  3. coming — the present participle (come + -ing), the ongoing main action.

Pattern matched: will + be + (-ing) = Future Continuous tense.

Cross-check / Contrast

  • Simple Future would read "She will come" — no "be", no "-ing".

  • Present (simple/continuous) would read "She comes" or "is coming" — it never uses "will".

  • Past tense would read "She came" — it points backward in time, not forward.

Only "will be coming" carries the future modal plus the continuous "be + -ing", so the sentence is in the Future Continuous tense.
