Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We will not eat outside ____ it rains.

• A. until
• B. since
• C. unless
• D. if

Answer 1

The correct option is D if

Let’s examine the sentence: “We will not eat outside ____ it rains.” This sentence shows a fact and is making a statement about a real and possible situation. Hence, it is using first conditional that employs forms of verbs in present and future tenses. The first conditional uses an “if” clause with a verb of simple present tense. So, Option D is the correct answer as the sentence requires an “if” to complete its meaning. Other options cannot be used as they would make the sentence meaningless.
