    • Past

    • Present

    • Future

    Correct Answer
    A. Future
    Explanation
    The words “in the near future” and “will be” all indicate that the sentence is written in the future tense.  This suggests that teenagers will begin to challenge and critically analyze the idea of having someone to look up to or emulate. This could be due to a shift in societal values, increased access to diverse perspectives and information, or a desire for individuality and self-expression. Teenagers may question the authenticity or relevance of traditional role models and instead seek inspiration and guidance from a variety of sources, including peers, online communities, or personal experiences.

    The statement suggests that in the past, there were only a limited number of popular role models. The words “in the past” and the word “were” both indicate the sentence is written in the past tense. This implies that in earlier times, people had fewer individuals to look up to or admire as examples. It indicates that the number of popular role models has increased or changed over time.

    Explanation
     The word “soon” and the verb phrase “will be” both indicate the future tense.

This shift could be driven by various factors, such as changing social norms, the influence of technology and social media, or a desire for more relatable and accessible role models.

The words “in a few years” and “is going” both indicate the sentence is happening in the future, meaning it is written in the future tense.
