Fill in the blank with the correct adverb clause:
Riya will call her grandparents in Nagpur ______.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → as soon as the board results are out
Adverb clause of time about the future:
- An adverb clause of time tells when something happens. It begins with words such as when, before, after or as soon as.
- Complete sentence: Riya will call her grandparents in Nagpur as soon as the board results are out.
- The main clause speaks of the future: “will call”. In such a sentence the time clause takes the simple present, not “will”. So the clause is “as soon as the board results are out”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: as soon as the board results will be out — Incorrect. The option says “will be out”. A time clause about the future does not take “will”. The simple present does that job.
Option 2: as soon as will the board results be out — Incorrect. The option says “will the board results be out”. This is question order. In a clause the subject comes before the verb.
Option 3: as soon as the board results being out — Incorrect. “Being out” is not a full verb. Without a full verb these words do not make a clause.
