Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The Browns will go on a picnic unless it ____ .

• A. doesn't rain
• B. won't rain
• C. rains
• D. will rain

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

rains

Let’s examine the sentence: “The Browns will go on a picnic unless it ____ .” We use unless to say that there may be an exception and that this exception will change the situation. Unless is used with present tense. Hence, Option C is the correct answer as it is fulfilling these conditions. Other options cannot be used as they would make the sentence meaningless.
