Identify the correct tense form of the highlighted part in the given sentence.

The officer will be on tour for a fortnight.

Correct option is B

The correct tense form is option (b) Simple Future Tense.

Explanation (Step-by-step):

• The highlighted verb phrase is “will be”.
• Simple Future Tense is formed by “will/shall + base form of verb”.
• Here, “will” is the future auxiliary and “be” is the base verb, indicating a future state/action.

Grammatical Rule Used (English):

• Simple Future: Subject + will/shall + V1 (base form).
Example: He will go, She will come, The officer will be on tour.

Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):

• Simple Future में “will/shall” के बाद verb की first form आती है।
• “will be” भविष्य में होने वाली स्थिति को दर्शाता है।

Why other options are incorrect:

• (a) Future Perfect – Structure: will have + V³ / will have been; यह यहाँ नहीं है।
• (c) Future Continuous – Structure: will be + V-ing; यहाँ V-ing नहीं है।
• (d) Simple Present – Simple present में “will” नहीं आता।

So the correct answer is (b)
