Let's tackle each question step by step to properly understand how to choose the correct answers:
Question 18:
Susan ______ credit card payments until her debt is all paid off.
The correct answer is D. Will make.

The sentence refers to a future action that Susan will carry out continuously until a condition is met (her debt is all paid off), so the future tense is appropriate here.

Question 19:
The sky is very black. It ______.
The correct answer is C. Is going to snow.

This refers to an event that is likely to happen based on the current situation or evidence (the sky being very black), so 'is going to' is the best choice here.

Question 20:
But all these things ______ if you marry me.
The correct answer is B. Will only happen.

The phrase needs to fit smoothly, indicating that marriage is a condition for the events, and 'will only happen' correctly places 'only' in the best spot for clarity.

Question 21:
I haven't made up my mind yet. But I think I ______ something nice in my mum's wardrobe.
The correct answer is B. Will find.

This reflects a prediction or expectation for the future about something you may do rather than a planned action, which suits simple future tense.

Question 22:
My horoscope says that I ______ an old friend this week.
The correct answer is B. Will meet.

Here, 'will meet' expresses an event that is expected to happen in the future based on an external statement or prediction.

Question 23:
At this time next Friday evening Mrs. Almanac ______ refreshments for her son's engagement party and ______ her future daughter-in-law.
The correct answer is B. Will be preparing - will be helping.

Both actions are continuous and simultaneous in the future, requiring the future continuous tense to show actions in progress.

Question 24:
By the end of next year, George ______ English for 2 years.
The correct answer is A. Will have learned.

This uses the future perfect tense to indicate that the learning will be a completed action by a certain time in the future.

Question 25:
When will you send the message? - We ______ it by Friday.
The correct answer is D. Will have delivered.

This is also an example of the future perfect tense, emphasizing that the action will be completed by a specific time in the future.

Question 26:
Can we start the party at 3 o'clock? - I don't think so. All our guests ______ by then. I'm afraid.
The correct answer is A. Won't have arrived.

Negative use of future perfect tense, indicating that not all actions will be completed by the future time (3 o'clock).

Question 27:
What does a blonde say when she sees a banana skin lying just a few meters in front of her? - Oh dear! I ______.
The correct answer is D. Am going to slip.

'Am going to' suggests an imminent action based on current evidence.

Question 28:
Here is the weather forecast. Tomorrow ______ dry and sunny.
The correct answer is B. Will be.

For general forecasts and predictions, 'will be' is commonly used.

Question 29:
Can I have a look at your photos tomorrow? - No, I'm sorry. I ______ them by tomorrow.
The correct answer is C. Will not have developed.

This uses the future perfect tense to indicate that the action will not be completed by the specified time.

Question 30:
I know by the time they come to my house this evening, I ______ out for a walk.
The correct answer is A. Will have gone.

Again, the future perfect tense is used to show an action completed before another future action.

Question 31:
These machines ______ very well by the time you come back next month.
The correct answer is A. Will be working.

The future continuous tense indicates ongoing actions at a certain future time.

Question 32:
I hope they ______ building the road by the time we come back next summer.
The correct answer is D. Will have finished.

This is about completing an action by a certain future time, so using the future perfect tense makes this clear.
