Option 2 : 'Will' with the subject in the first person expresses bleak sense of determination.

The correct answer is ''Will' with the subject in the first person expresses bleak sense of determination.'

 

  • The sentence is called a normal future or plain future because there are no emotions attached to them but sometimes we want to express a strong emotion about the future e.g. promise, a command, determination, or duty.
  • The formula for a normal and strong future:​
  • Pronoun Normal Future Strong Future
    I/ We Shall Will
    You/ He/ She/ It/ They Will Shall
  • "Will" with the subject in the second and third person expresses without the sense of determination or normal future not with the first person.
  • But, for the strong sense of determination we use "will" with the first person.
  • Here it is written for a bleak sense of determination 'will' with the subject in the first person is wrong as we use strong determination with 'will' having the subject in the first person. 
    • Example: Rijan thinks he will get better facilities than this industry.
  • All the other options are correct.

Hence, option 2) is the correct answer.

 

  • Option 1) is correct as ​"Shall" is used to indicate future tense. When we used "shall" in the second or third person, it implies a promise, command, or compulsion. It also shows the determination and inevitability of the action.
    • Example: I shall give the incentive to Vinkesh if he works hard.
  • Option 3) is correct as "Should" and "would" are the past equivalents of 'shall' and 'will'.
  • Option 4) is correct as "Would" emphasizes the repeated actions or habits in the past.
    • Example: Every day I would go on a cycle ride.

  • Should is a modal that is used for duty, moral obligation, advice, etc. It is interchangeably used with other modal 'ought to'.
    • ​Example: Surjeet should stop smoking. 
  • A Modal is a type of verb that is used to express modality such as permission, request, obligation, advice, etc. There are several types of modals verbs such as may, might, ought to, should, can, etc. The use of these modal verbs varies. So, 'Should' with the second person and third person means 'ought to' is correct.
