Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: get

Explanation: This option is the correct improvement because it removes "will" from the sentence. In English, when using the conjunction "if" to express a condition, it is not necessary to use "will" in the dependent clause. Instead, we should use the simple present tense to convey future possibility or intention.

got

  • It suggests replacing "will get" with "got." However, this changes the verb tense to the past tense, which is not appropriate in this context. The sentence should convey a future possibility or intention, and the simple present tense ("get") is more suitable for this purpose.

shall get

  • This option reintroduces "shall" after "if." While it is possible to use "shall" in this context, it is not necessary and can make the sentence sound more formal or old-fashioned. Using the simple present tense ("get") as in option (1) is a more common and appropriate choice in modern English.
