Bonjour,

I need some advice again.

1. Do you think she will arrive at 10:00?
2. Do you think she will arrive by 10:00?
3. Do you think she will have arrived at 10:00?
4. Do you think she will have arrived by 10:00?

Which sentence is correct, and which is not?

I'd appreciate it very much if you could please explain why.
Thank you in advance.

Only 3. is wrong. Future perfect happens before a 2nd action/future time.
'by' stresses before (but can include at) a time.
I hope this helps.
