The professor predicts that as students become more and more dependent on coaching classes in the coming years, coaching institutes have been mushrooming across the country.
(A) coaching institutes have been mushrooming
(B) coaching institutes will mushroom
(C) coaching institutes are mushrooming
(D) coaching institutes should mushroom
(E) coaching institutes will be mushrooming
(A) coaching institutes have been mushrooming
(B) coaching institutes will mushroom

(E) coaching institutes will be mushrooming
Official Explanation:
The first part of this sentence—as students become—is in the future tense because when will the students become dependent? Obviously, in the future. To match this, the second part also needs to be in the future tense.
Hence, options A and C immediately go out.
Option D incorrectly uses should to imply that the professor wants these coaching institutes to mushroom.
Between Options B and E, option E unnecessarily uses the future continuous tense will be mushrooming. Since the first part of the sentence is in the simple future tense, the second part should also be in the simple future tense, making B the correct answer.
On tense-related questions, it is very important that you pay attention to the part of the sentence that is not underlined because only then will you be able to grasp the overall meaning of the sentence.
