Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The bus is now full of passengers, it will leave soon.
Option 1: leaves
Option 2: is leaving
Option 3: is going to leave
Option 4: has to leave
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.
