Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

The head coach declared that the player who will score the most points in the game will clinch the trophy this year.

• A. who scores the points maximum
• B. who were score the maximum points
• C. who have score the maximum points
• D. who scores the maximum points

Answer 1

Answer:

D. who scores the maximum points

• In conditional or relative clauses referring to the future, we use the Simple Present Tense ($subject + V_{1}/V_{s/es}$), not the future tense. • "Who scores the maximum points" correctly uses the simple present to describe the condition for winning the trophy. "Maximum points" is also more idiomatic than "points maximum."
