    Explanation
    In this sentence, the verb "will have" indicates a future perfect tense, which is used to express an action that will be completed before a specific time in the future. The correct form of the verb to complete the sentence is "taken," as it is the past participle form of the verb "take." Therefore, the correct answer is "taken."

Therefore, "was thinking" is the correct past tense form of the verb "think" in this sentence.
