To solve this problem, we need to understand how to correctly complete the sentence about future actions. The sentence is: "The government ______ new laws next year." ### Options Explanation: A) Introduced - This is the past tense, which is not suitable for describing an action in the future. B) Is introduced - This is the present progressive passive, which does not fit grammatically or contextually as it would suggest the laws are being introduced right now or habitually, not next year. C) Is going to introduce - This is the future tense using "going to," which suggests a planned action in the future. It fits the context of the sentence perfectly. D) Introducing - This is the present participle and doesn't fit grammatically as it would require a form of "to be" as a helper verb (e.g., "is introducing"). ### Conclusion: The correct answer is C) "The government **is going to introduce** new laws next year." This choice accurately reflects a planned future action, which matches the structure and meaning intended in the sentence.
