Correct Answer: is going to leave


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

The use of "is going to leave" indicates a future action and is suitable for describing the imminent departure of the bus. The original sentence is in the present tense ("is now full") and suggests that the bus will leave in the near future. The phrase "is going to leave" is a suitable choice, as it maintains the present tense and indicates a planned action in the future.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The bus is now full of passengers; it is going to leave soon.
