Question

Choose the option so as to complete the sentence correctly-
We _______ lost, if we _______ the map.
a) Will get, forget
b) Could get, would forget
c) Get, will forget
d) Will get, will forget

Answer 1

Hint:There are two blanks given in the question. We need to fill them with the correct form of tense. The tense form should match the tense of the sentence.

Complete answer:
The sentence clearly shows that the speaker is talking about getting lost if they don't take the help of the map. When there is an 'if' in the sentence, we may infer that the sentence is a conditional one. When the situation is a likely/ possible one, we say that the sentence is in the first conditional.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option -
Option 'a' is Will get, forget. These two words will fill in the blank correctly and logically, the tense of these words also matches that of the given sentence. It denotes future tense.
Option 'b' is Could get, would forget. This cannot be the correct answer as we cannot use 'could' with such type of tense in this particular sentence. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option 'c' is Get, will get. This cannot be the correct answer as we cannot use 'will' in the second blank. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option 'd' is Will get, will forget. This is also not a correct option as we cannot use 'will' in both the blank. So, we will eliminate this option as well.
As we have analyzed all the given options we can easily figure out the correct option. Here, the two words to be filled in the blank are - will get, forget. The complete sentence would be - We will get lost, if we forget the map. Hence, option 'a' is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. You must know the meaning and usage of all tenses to find out the correct answer.
