Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

will open

will inaugurate

Solution :

The correct option to substitute the underlined segment is will open.

Explanation:
1. Tense Identification: The sentence describes an event scheduled for "next week", which indicates a future action. Therefore, the main verb phrase must be in the simple future tense.
2. Grammatical Structure: In active voice, the simple future tense is formed using the modal verb will followed by the base form of the main verb (will + base verb). Here, the base form of the verb is open, making the correct structure will open.
3. Analysis of Incorrect Options:
- will opening: Incorrect. Modal verbs such as "will" must be followed by the base form of the verb, not a present participle (-ing form).
- in opening: Incorrect. This creates a prepositional phrase rather than a valid finite verb phrase needed for the sentence structure.
- is open: Incorrect. This uses the present tense and fails to properly express the future active action directed at the object ("the new pediatric wing").

Corrected Sentence:
"Dr. Aris, a renowned surgeon who has performed hundreds of delicate heart operations, will open the new pediatric wing next week in Boston."
