Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Correct answer: will be lying

Explanation –

Use the future continuous tense to describe an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.

Form: Subject + will + be + verb-ing

So the sentence becomes: This time tomorrow, I will be lying on the beach.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • 'Am lying' is present continuous and refers to present actions or arrangements, not an action at a future time indicated by 'this time tomorrow'.

  • 'Will lie' is simple future and describes a completed action or a future fact; it does not emphasize that the action will be ongoing at that specific future time.

  • 'None of these' is incorrect because a correct option is available: 'will be lying'.
