A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
By next Monday he ____ staying at my uncle's house for three weeks.
Explanation: The question tests your understanding of future perfect continuous tense.<br> Future perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that will be in progress for a period of time before a specific point in the future. The structure is: will/shall + have + been + present participle (verb + -ing). <br> The sentence requires a verb tense that indicates an action completed over a period of time, ending at a specific point in the future (next Monday). <br> Let's analyze the options: <br> Option A: will have - This is the future perfect tense. It indicates the completion of an action by a specific time in the future. It doesn't show the duration of the action. It would be correct in a sentence like: By next Monday, he will have finished his work. This is incorrect because the sentence indicates the action is ongoing. <br> Option B: shall have - This is very similar to will have, but shall is less common in modern English, particularly in American English. The same logic as Option A applies here. It’s also grammatically incorrect in this context. <br> Option C: will have been - This is the correct answer. Will have been staying perfectly expresses an action (staying) that will have been in progress for a duration (three weeks) before a specific point in the future (next Monday). <br> Option D: shall have been - Similar to Option B, this is less common and grammatically incorrect for this sentence. The same logic as Option C and its grammatical limitations apply here. <br> Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: will have been. The complete sentence is: By next Monday he will have been staying at my uncle's house for three weeks.

Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given beside it. <br><br><br> There is an old African proverb that says, “Until the lions have their own historians, histories of the hunt will glorify the hunter.” <br> As is common knowledge, while the male lion’s mane incites our imagination, it is actually the lionesses that bring in food and ensure survival of the species. As Renana Jhavwala of SEWA and member of UN Secretary General’s High Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment aptly says, “Women's work is invisible … women are at the base of the economic pyramid. Women are stuck on a 'sticky floor' of low technology, low productivity, low skills, low earnings and low dignity.” Rural women in the Asia-Pacific region make critical contributions to household production and national food security, yet their contribution is hardly acknowledged. <br> The credit for the success of Brazil’s conditional cash transfer programme, Bolsa familia, goes to women. The programme rewards families for sending their children to school and taking them for regular health check- ups. This scheme has pulled millions out of poverty. The state tends to believe women are more reliable than men. In Mexico, a similar programme, Oportunidades, is available exclusively to women. <br> There is strong empirical evidence to suggest that money in the hands of the mother increases expenditure on children. There is a strong positive correlation between women’s status and economic/social development. Policy makers across the world have placed great emphasis on gender equality. The experience suggests that economic development alone is not enough to bring about equality. What is needed is policy action. This is where the importance of women’s political empowerment comes. <br> Democracy in the 21st century is moving towards equity and inclusion. This is the underlying message of citizens’ movements across the world. And with increasing role of women at the policy level and in institutions of government, democracy can become ‘politics of difference’ and ‘politics of presence.’
