Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense: 'Reflejará' (It will reflect).
Why: While Spanish sometimes uses the present for near future, the dedicated future tense is clearer and more formal.
Mistake: Confusing future and conditional.
Correct: Future ('reflejará') states what WILL happen; conditional ('reflejaría') states what WOULD happen.
Why: These tenses have distinct meanings related to certainty vs. hypothetical situations.
