Jawaban: d. spending

Soal meminta untuk melengkapi bagian rumpang nomor 1.

Kalimatnya adalah “I will be 1. ______ time with my cousin, Jane.” yang berarti “Saya akan 1. ______ waktu dengan sepupu saya, Jane.”

Dilihat dari “will be”, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kalimat berpola Future Continuous Tense, yaitu tense yang menyatakan kejadian yang sedang berlangsung di masa depan.

Rumus: S + will be + Ving + O.

Berdasarkan rumus, bagian rumpang seharusnya diisi dengan Ving. Dilihat dari opsi, yang merupakan Ving adalah “spending”.

Kalimat lengkapnya menjadi “I will be spending time with my cousin, Jane.” yang berarti “Saya akan menghabiskan waktu dengan sepupu saya, Jane.”

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah “d. spending”.
