Hello Ali

Would you like to try first? Then we'll check them.

(Here's a clue: the phrases "in ten years" and "in less than a century" both refer to the future.)

All the best,

I know it refer to future,but i'm not sure about In ten years means after ten years or by the end of ten years..?

Welcome, ali20.

The phrase In ten years refers to future time. So, should you use took, take or will take?

1-In ten years, flights from New York to Tokyo__________more than two hours.

The phrase In less than a century also refers to future time. So, should you
use melt/disappeared, melts/disappear or will melt/will disappear?

2-In less than a century, global warming_______most of the polar ice caps and many coastal cities___________.

All the best.
