Correct Answer: arrive in three


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

The verb arrived should be replaced with arrive, and the preposition in is used to indicate a period of time, such as, in three days and it correctly conveys the expected arrival time. The verb arrive is appropriate in this context to convey the idea of the parcel reaching its intended location within a specific time frame.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Your parcel should arrive in three days."
