Correct Answer: is about to begin


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation:

When expressing an imminent action or something that is going to happen very soon, the construction about to, is followed by the base form of the verb. In this case, the correct form is begin because begin is the base form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The speaker is about to begin his speech.
