Going to/will
Hi,
which of the expressions of future is correct in the example below:
A: What are you doing?
B: I'm hitting my mobile phone.
A: Do you think that is going to help/that will help?
I'd say that either is fine yet my textbook lists the latter as the only correct answer.

I would use a contraction in the first case: that's. But I don't think that's what your textbook was focusing on. I have no idea what they were getting at. Both are quite good I think. Personally, I like the "going to" version better.
Do you think that's going to help?
Do you think that will help?
