Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. She will already return home

  • The error is in the verb tense.
  • To convey the idea that she will return home before her parents get back from their offices, we need to use the future perfect tense, which is "will have returned."
  • So, the corrected sentence is She will already have returned home when her parents get back from their offices.

Hence, the correct option would be She will already return home.
