If you _ in the sun too long, you'll burn.
Correct answer: A. Stay
- A. Stay
- B. Stayed
- C. Had stayed
- D. Would stay
Explanation
The correct answer is 'stay' because it matches the future tense 'you'll burn' in the sentence. Option B 'stayed' is incorrect as it is in the past tense, Option C 'had stayed' is incorrect as it is in the past perfect tense, and Option D 'would stay' is incorrect because the conditional 'would' is not necessary in this context.
