Answer
Correct Answer: You will get
Explanation
Given data
- Main clause uses ‘‘will’’; if-clause uses present simple.
Concept / ApproachGrammatically, a first conditional with ‘‘will’’ in the main clause and present in the if-clause is acceptable. However, many competitive-exam keys prefer a neutral modal of possibility/availability (‘‘can’’/‘‘may’’/‘‘can get’’) rather than a predictive ‘‘will get’’ when the sentence expresses a general instruction, not a certain future event.
Recommended correction (per key)‘‘You can get all the information if you read this booklet carefully.’’ (Or ‘‘You will get all the information by reading …’’ to avoid the if-structure.)
Common pitfalls
- Confusing register/style preferences with strict grammar; here we follow the exam's convention.
