The new bridge ______ by the mayor next year.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. will be opened
- Step 1: The agent phrase 'by the mayor' needs a passive verb, and 'next year' needs the future.
Answer
will be opened.
Why not the others: "will be opening" is wrong because 'be opening' is a future continuous active form, not a passive. "will open" is wrong because an active verb cannot take the agent 'by the mayor'. "is opened" is wrong because the present simple passive does not carry future meaning here.
