Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
When we use future simple in its interrogative form, we start with 'will' followed by the subject and the verb in its base form (the sentence ends with a question mark). Hence, 'will' along with gerund 'facing' is used.
87
. . . . . . . . sir asks a question, even we won't answer.
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
We use the conjunction 'unless' to mean 'except if'. The clause which follows unless is a subordinate clause (sc): it needs a main clause (mc) to make a complete sentence. When 'unless' comes before the main clause, we use a comma.
88
Every day Rashi . . . . . . . . the bus to go to her office.
Discuss
Answer & Solution

Solution:
'Takes' is used with singular subject like he/she/it and other singular nouns. 'Take' is used with plural subject like we/they and other plural nouns. With you, we will use 'take' as you always has plural form of verb with it.
89
