You........got ready before we visit your house.
Explanation: Definition: <br> The sentence refers to an action that must be completed before another future event ( before we visit your house ). This requires the use of the future perfect tense, which is formed using will have + past participle . Correct Answer: <br> The correct option is Option A: will have. Explanation: <br> - The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will be completed before a specific time or event in the future. <br> - The structure for the future perfect tense is: Subject + will have + past participle. <br> - The phrase got ready is the past participle form of get ready, so the correct verb choice is will have to indicate completion before the visit. <br> - The correct sentence is: You will have got ready before we visit your house. <br> Why Other Options Are Incorrect: <br> - Option B: shall have ? Incorrect because shall is less commonly used in modern English for future perfect constructions, except in very formal contexts. <br> - Option C: are ? Incorrect because are is present tense and does not indicate completion before a future event. <br> - Option D: were ? Incorrect because were is past tense, but the sentence refers to a future action. <br> Final Answer: Option A: will have.

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions. <br><br><br> Typhoon Hagibis proved to be extraordinarily devastating for northern Japan when it struck this weekend, unleashing more than three feet of rain in just 24 hours in some locations, causing widespread flash flooding as well as river flooding. The storm has killed at least 58, according to the Japanese public broadcaster NHK. In addition, high winds lashed Tokyo and Tokyo Bay, along with pounding surf and rain. <br><br> One reason the storm caused such severe impacts is that the inner core of the typhoon, with its heaviest rains and highest winds, remained intact as it swept across Tokyo and dumped heavy rains across northeastern Japan as well. According to reporting from The Washington Post’s Simon Denyer, by Sunday, more than 20 rivers in central and northeastern Japan had burst their banks, flooding more than 1,000 homes in cities, towns and villages. <br><br> Numerous levees failed, and at one point, the government advised nearly 8 million people to evacuate, Denyer reported. Severe flooding occurred in Nagano, Japan, the site of the 1998 Winter Olympics, where waters from the overflowing Chikuma River damaged a fleet of highspeed bullet trains that had been parked in a maintenance rail depot. <br><br> Japan typically sees impacts from between five and six typhoons per year, though not all of these make direct landfall. Even among these, however, Typhoon Hagibis stands out for its track and the amount of rainfall it delivered to highly populated areas in a short period. <br><br> Frequently, typhoons affect the southwestern reaches of Japan first, and weaken to windswept rainstorms by the time they hit Tokyo. However, Typhoon Hagibis didn’t travel over land for a long distance, and therefore was more damaging. <br><br> Instead, the eye of the storm came ashore close to 7 p.m. local time on Saturday on the Izu Peninsula, about 80 miles southwest of Tokyo. This track enabled Typhoon Hagibis to continue to tap into energy from the oceans and weaken at a slower rate than other storms do when they hit Japan. <br><br> In addition, the storm had begun to interact with the high winds at upper levels of the atmosphere known as the jet stream, which expanded the reach of its heavy rains and broadened its wind field. <br><br> The storm made landfall Saturday as it made a turn from moving north-northwestward to the northeast. It then crossed directly over the capital city of 9.3 million and swirled northward, with 8.23 inches of rain falling in Tokyo itself and more than three feet in higher elevations to the west of the city. Sustained winds at hurricane force affected downtown Tokyo, with a gust to 98 mph recorded at Haneda Airport.
