Question

Complete the sentence with the appropriate form of the given verb:

They've invited me to their house. They ___________ (be) offended if I don't go.

• A. are being
  
• B. will be
• C. are
• D. have been
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B will be

The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, being offended. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. In the passive voice, we can use the participle form of the root verb. The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb in participle], that is, will be offended. Hence, Option B is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that have already happened (option D), actions that are routine or general truth (option C) or continuous actions that are happening in the present (option A).

Hence these options are incorrect.
