Correct Answer: build their new tower


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The Future perfect tense is used for those actions which are assumed to be completed by a certain point of time.

The correct form should be built instead of build to maintain the proper verb tense agreement with the future perfect tense expressed in the sentence. In the future perfect tense, the verb to build should take the past participle form, which is built.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "By next year, they will have built their new tower."
