To determine the correct verb tense for this sentence, we need to consider that it is referring to a fixed future event usually based on a timetable or a programme. In such cases, we use the future simple tense, which is formed by using "will" followed by the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "will arrive".
2. We (are) to have a party next Sunday.
This sentence is expressing a future arrangement or plan. In such cases, we use the present continuous tense to indicate a future action which is already arranged or planned. The present continuous tense is formed by using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" followed by the present participle form of the main verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "are".
3. I (will phone) for a taxi immediately.
In this sentence, we are talking about an action that will happen in the future. We use the future simple tense for future actions, which is formed by using "will" followed by the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "will phone".
4. Tomorrow (will be) cold and wet.

5. Grace (will probably be) late.
In this sentence, we are expressing a future possibility. The word "probably" indicates that there is a likelihood but not certainty. To express this, we can use the future simple tense with the modal verb "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "will probably be".
6. I think I (am) going to faint.
To express intentions or plans which are already decided, we can use the present continuous tense. In this case, we use "am" (the present tense of "to be") followed by the present participle form of the main verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "am".
7. (Are) you coming to the meeting on Friday evening?
To ask a question in the present simple tense, we use the base form of the verb "to be" before the subject. Therefore, the correct answer is "Are".

To express a future action based on a condition, we can use the future simple tense. In this case, we use "will" followed by the base form of the main verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "will hit".
