The correct answer is Option 2)Key Points

  • In the second part of the given sentence, the tense consistency is important.
  • The sentence uses the future perfect tense "will have completed", so the second clause should maintain the same tense consistency.
  • Therefore, the use of "will have returned" is redundant and incorrect in this context.
  • The correct form should be "returned to school" to maintain the parallel structure and proper tense usage.

Hence, the correct statement is 'By next summer, I will have completed my internship and returned to school.'

Additional Information

  • When using the future perfect tense, ensure the verbs in the sentence maintain tense consistency.
  • For example, "I will have finished my work and gone home" is correct, while "I will have finished my work and will go home" is not.
