alleryComplete: "If it rains, the match ___ cancelled."
Awill be
Bwould be
Chad been
Dhas been
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. will be
1. A conditional sentence says one thing depends on another.
2. "If it rains" is a possible future condition.
3. The result in the main clause uses "will" with the base form.
4. So the answer is "will be".
**Why not the others:** Would have been, had been and was being belong to past or unreal conditions, not a likely future one.
