If the cake _ done, take it out of the oven.
Correct answer: A. Is
- A. Is
- B. Will be
- C. Would be
- D. Was
Explanation
The correct answer is 'is' because the sentence is instructing to take the cake out of the oven once it is done baking, indicating a present state. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either refer to future, conditional, or past tense, which do not align with the context of the sentence.
