Answer: Option E

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Correct Sentence: How bad that game is! I'm sure our team will be beaten in this match.

In this sentence, "will be beaten" is used to predict the outcome of the game based on the current bad performance. The future passive tense "will be beaten" correctly conveys the expectation that the team is going to lose.

Incorrect Options:

Option A: is beaten
This option is incorrect because "is beaten" refers to a present state, not a future prediction. It does not fit the context of predicting the result of the match.

Option B: has been beaten
This option is incorrect because "has been beaten" refers to a past action completed in the present, indicating that the match has already been lost, which contradicts the context of making a prediction about the future.

Option C: was beaten
This option is incorrect because "was beaten" refers to a past event, not a future outcome. It does not fit the context of discussing the current game and predicting the result.

Option D: will have been beaten
This option is incorrect because "will have been beaten" is used for future perfect tense, which is not appropriate here. It implies the game will already be over at a future point, which is not the intended prediction.

Example of correct usage:
How bad that game is! I'm sure our team will be beaten in this match.

This construction accurately predicts the future outcome of the game based on the current situation, using the correct future passive form "will be beaten".
