Explanation
The correct answer is "am going to see," 'm going to see,'m seeing,am seeing. These options all correctly use different future forms to complete the sentence. "Am going to see" and "'m going to see" both use the future form "going to" to indicate a planned action in the future. "Am seeing" and "am seeing" both use the present continuous tense to indicate a future arrangement or appointment.

Correct Answer(s)
are having
're having
are going to have
're going to have

Explanation
The correct answer is "are having," 're having, are going to have, 're going to have.

The speaker has already made a reservation for tonight and is stating their plans for dinner. The use of "are having" and "'re having" suggests that the speaker has already arranged for a dinner reservation and it is confirmed. The use of "are going to have" and "'re going to have" indicates a future plan or intention to have dinner in Takapuna at 8 tonight.
