Question

Fill in the blank using appropriate form of verb:

If you don't eat anything now, you ___________ (be) hungry later.

• A. have been
  
• B. will be
• C. are being
  
• D. had 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 hungry. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb], that is, will be. Hence, Option B is correct.

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

Hence these options are incorrect.
