Answer 1

Answer:

B. How long will the surgery take ?

This question tests the correct formation of an interrogative sentence in English, specifically with the question word 'how long'. The correct structure for a question in the future tense is:

Question word + auxiliary verb (will) + subject + main verb + rest of the sentence?

Let's break down the options:

• (B) How long will the surgery take?

  • Question word: "How long"

  • Auxiliary verb: "will"

  • Subject: "the surgery"

  • Main verb: "take"

  • This structure is grammatically correct and asks about the duration of the surgery, which is what the provided response answers.
