If he arrives late again, the teacher _ him.
Correct answer: A. Will punish
- A. Will punish
- B. punishes
- C. Punished
- D. Would punish
Explanation
The correct answer is 'will punish' because it correctly uses the future simple tense to show the consequence of the future event of arriving late again. 'Punishes' is incorrect as it uses the simple present tense, 'punished' is incorrect as it uses the simple past tense, and 'would punish' is incorrect as it is not suitable for this specific future consequence scenario.
