In this sentence, as the word 'will' appears before the first verb so we know it must be a future tense verb. The second verb does not indicate past or future so it is a present tense verb. Next you need to determine the pronoun that can replace the farmer and that would be él or he. The second pronoun has been provided, i.e., they. The Spanish verb for harvest is cosechar. The second verb is a 'to be' verb. Spanish as two 'to be' verbs. One is for temporary condition and one is for permanent. Since the crops are not ready yet, it is a temporary condition.

The first verb contains the wrong verb tense and the second contains the wrong pronoun form. The second answer reads: he will harvest and they are.

In this sentence the word 'will' appears before the first verb so it is a future tense verb. The second verb has the word 'to' before it. Whenever the word 'to' comes before a verb, that verb remains in its base form. The base form of the verb fall is caer. The first, second and last answers show conjugated forms of this verb so they are each incorrect. The Spanish verb for freeze is congelar and the future tense form of that verb with the pronoun for 'it' (replacing the water) is congelará.
