Correct Answer: ready leaving
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
In place of the gerund form of the verb (leaving), the infinitive form of the verb (to leave) should be used because the infinitive form is used to show the purpose or intent of an action.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: They will be ready to leave for the airport in an hour.
