Choose the option which best replaces the underlined phrase in the following sentence."In a few minutes' time, when the clock strikes six I would be waiting here for an hour".
✅ Correct Option: 2
The best option to replace the underlined phrase "I would be waiting here for an hour" is "Shall have been waiting".The sentence needs the future perfect continuous tense to express an action that will be ongoing up to a specific point in the future. "Shall have been waiting" correctly conveys that by the time the clock strikes six, the waiting will have been in progress for an hour.Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
