If you don't water plants, they _.
Correct answer: B. Will die
- A. Die
- B. Will die
- C. Would die
- D. Dying
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: 'will die'. This option correctly applies the future tense structure 'will + base form of the verb' to predict the outcome of not watering plants. Option A: 'die' does not indicate the future tense required. Option C: 'would die' introduces a conditional aspect that is not appropriate in this context. Option D: 'dying' is in the continuous tense and does not fit the prediction of a future outcome.
