Question

read the sentence. tomorrow night when we take the ghost tour of the city, i ______ in my boots, hoping we dont actually see anything too spooky! which verb or verb phrase is in the correct tense to complete the sentence? quake quaking have quaked will be quaking

Explanation:

The sentence refers to an action happening at the same time as a future event ("tomorrow night when we take the ghost tour"). The future continuous tense ("will be quaking") is used to describe an ongoing action that will occur at a specific point in the future, which matches the context here. The other options are incorrect: "quake" is simple present, which does not fit a future ongoing action; "quaking" lacks a helping verb to function as the main verb here; "have quaked" is present perfect, referring to a past action connected to the present, not a future one.

Answer:

will be quaking
