Correct Answer: the postman would be
Solution : The fourth option contains the error.
Would is used to express a past event and is the past tense of will , which is used to predict a future event. Since we are talking about a future event, we should use will instead of would .
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I am sure that the postman will be coming shortly to deliver the letter."
