Correct Answer: is going to


Solution : The right choice is the third option .

The original sentence uses "was going" which is the past continuous tense. This tense is typically used for actions that were ongoing in the past. However, the phrase "next month" indicates a future event, not a past one. To correctly express a planned or intended future action, we use the present continuous tense. In this case, "she is going" fits the context.

So, the correct sentence would be: Next month, she is going to the institute to study for a master's degree.
