A. *"With India administering 30_40 lakh doses daily, this suggests that existing stocks **are going to be** available for 10_13 days, though there is a considerable variation within the states in the number of doses being made available".* or A . *"With India administering 30_40 lakh doses daily, this suggests that existing stocks **could be** available for 10_13 days, though there is a considerable variation within the states in the number of doses being made available" I believe both are better answers. ---------- Ref [Expressing a Future Action: When To Use “Will” And “Going To”.][1] >Will can be a present tense verb that means to cause something to happen through force of desire. It can also be a modal auxiliary verb in various tenses. **USE WILL FOR A FAR FURTHER FUTURE ACTION** One important detail about “WILL” is that it is most often used to discuss things or situations that may take a long time to happen. >WHEN TO USE “**GOING TO**” One huge difference in using GOING TO versus WILL, is that you use GOING TO when the action was already decided on even before speaking of it. **'will' and 'would'** [Ref][2] **would is the past tense form of will** which denotes both ability and certainty. In this scenario we are talking about a future event, we have no need to be polite in this context. It is however "hypothetical" whilst being a possibility as opposed to a certainty therefore I believe **could** would be a more appropriate word. Because it is a past tense, **would it is used:** >to talk about the past >to talk about hypotheses (when we imagine something) >for politeness. **Is it could or would?** >Both could and would are verbs that have many senses. **Could** is a conditional verb that expresses possibility. **Would** is a conditional verb that expresses certainty, intent, or both.
