Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: you will be playing
Solution : The first option is correct.
The future perfect tense is the tense which is used to describe an event that is expected to happen before time.
The sentence is in the future perfect tense, and in these cases, will have + past participle structure is used. Thus, be playing should be changed to will have played to make the sentence grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " By this time tomorrow, you will have played the violin for 48 hours."
