Instructions

In each of the following sentences, part or the entire sentence is underlined. The answer-choices offer four ways of phrasing the underlined part. If you think the original sentence is better than the alternatives, choose 1 which merely repeats the underlined part; otherwise choose one of the alternatives.

Question 108

Due to the chemical spill, the commute into the city will be delayed by as much as 2 hours.

Solution

The form of a verb changes depending on whether it refers to an event taking place in the past, present, or future. Since the tense of the statement is future and that of option B is present continuous, option B can be ruled out. In a similar fashion, since the tense of option C is present perfect, option C can also be eliminated.

As the original sentence is better than the alternatives, the correct option is A.
