Question

Fill in the blank using appropriate tense forms from the options given:
Take another pen for your exam, in case, one __________.

• A. Stop
• B. Stops
• C. Stopped
• D. Has stopped

Answer 1

The correct option is B Stops

We use 'in case' to talk about things we should do in order to be prepared for possible future situations, like the pen stopping. The conditional clause takes on the simple present tense for precaution in the present. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to condition, hence they're incorrect.
