Answer 2

The correct answer is option C) are taking.

• The given sentence is: They _____ the students on educational tour on next Monday. Since the tour is on next Monday, we can conclude the action is going to take place in the future. We need to find an option that fits perfectly with the tone of the sentence.
• Let us analyze the options one by one.
• Option a) were taking is in the past continuous tense. It can only be used in situations that denote a continuing action taking place in the past and hence, it cannot be used here.
• Option b) have taken is in the past perfect tense. It can only be used in situations that have been completed in the past and hence, it cannot be used here.
• Option c) are taking is in present continuous tense and fits the sentence correctly. It can be used for an action that is taking place in the present or an action that will take place in the future. Hence the correct answer: They are taking the students on educational tour on next Monday.
• Option d) has been taking is in resent perfect continuous tense. It is used for an action that has been going on for some while and hence, it cannot be used here.
