Answer 1

B. Is not working
C. Will wear

Answer 2

1. A. I hope we don't disturb Pat when we drop in tonight. B. Don't worry. She doesn't work. She told me yesterday she never works in the evening.

In the first sentence, we use the negative form of the verb "disturb" in the present simple tense because it refers to a future event. The correct form is "don't disturb" to express the hope that we will not disturb Pat.

In the second sentence, we use the present simple tense in the negative form "doesn't work" because it describes a habitual action or a general truth. Pat told me yesterday that she never works in the evening, so we can use the present simple tense to describe this fact.

2. I have nothing to wear for this party. All I've got is this old black dress, and Suzy will wear something spectacular, as usual.

In this sentence, we use the future simple tense "will wear" to describe Suzy's action of wearing something spectacular at the party. The speaker is confident that Suzy will wear something amazing, so the future simple tense is used to express this prediction or expectation.

Please note that the verb "wear" is used in the base form without the "-s" ending because it follows the auxiliary verb "will."
