Answer 2

Answer:

The most suitable phrase is will further boost.

We have to substitute the concerned portion with the best alternative provided so, we have to look at the usage of tense and adverb.

Explanation:

• As we know, the sentence is talking about a future event, it is a possibility that certain thing would happen.
• Therefore, we will apply simple future tense in this sentence. Thus, 'will' is the correct helping verb.
• Consequently, 'boasting of the future' and 'further to boost​' are eliminated as they don't belong to future tense.
• Furthermore, the adverb 'further' means 'more; to a greater degree' and is modifying the verb 'boost'. Thus, it is perfect to use in the sentence.

Hence, the underlined phrase would be replaced by 'will further boost' and the complete sentence is: The increasing number of double income households will further boost the future the market size of the Indian wrist watch industry.
