I will go with E here as the action is going to happen in the future and will continue for a period of time.

(E)

whats the oa? i agree it needs to be future tense but im pretty sure option a accomplishes that as well,and is more concise.

Got to be E.

This sentence needs a future continuous tense and not a simple future tense that A provides.

IMO A

as A is concise and conveys a future tense.

X will happen for as long as Y is there

X will be happening for as long as Y is here < - incorrect

would go with E.

IMO A

What is the OA ?

I will go with E. Could anyone please post the OA?

IMO: E

OA?

All, please paste your reason for selecting the answer.

I am not very convinced with OA hence not pasting the same.

___

IN MY OPINION ANS SHOULD BE C:

ACC. TO OG , WILL HAVE BEEN DESCRIBES A FUTURE , ONGOING ACTION THAT WILL OCCUR BEFORE A SPECIFIED TIME.

In above question The Goodyear Blimp will provide aerial footage of the car race for as long as the race is sponsored by the tire company.

so, AS LONG AS clearly shows the ongoing action in future that will occur before a specified time( until the race is sponcered by the tire company).

THEREFORE, WE NEED TO USE FUTURE PERFECT CONTINIOUS IN THIS QUESTION. HENCE C is the answer.

EXPERTS CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG...............
