Answer 2

Answer:

In the sentence: "The semester is about to end", 'about to' indicates: B. Near future

Explanation:

• The term 'about to' is used to denote that something is 'on the verge'.
• For example: They are about to announce the exam schedule.
• So it cannot be used to denote remote/neutral/imaginative future.
• Therefore, 'about to' indicates 'near future'.
