S1: We shall have to present ourselves before the Dean and explain our behaviour. S2: They will need to get their act together if they wish to win the contract.

  1. A.S1 is right and S2 is wrong
  2. B.S1 is wrong and S2 is right
  3. C.Both S1 and S2 are wrong
  4. D.Both S1 and S2 are right✓ Correct

Explanation

Traditionally, 'shall' is used with first person (I/we) to indicate future or obligation, and 'will' is used with second and third persons. In S1, 'we shall have to present ourselves' correctly uses 'shall' with first person plural to denote obligation. In S2, 'they will need' correctly uses 'will' with the third person plural. Both sentences follow the conventional usage, so both are right.
