In this below
OG question's explanation, it is mentioned that ''
[b]Will be is not the correct verb form[/b]'' in the option E.
Ques: The bank holds $3 billion in loans that are seriously delinquent or in
such trouble that
they do not expect payments when due.
Option E:
payments are not expected to be paid when they will be.
Although, there is one explanation in the thread by GMATNinja, my bad, i couldn't understand it. Please help??
Thanks!
"Will be" creates a confusing meaning. If I say a payment
is due on March 2, that means the date of the payment has been set, and I'm clear about this date in the present. I know that I need to write a check by March 2. Pretty straightforward.
But if I say that a payment
will be due on March 2, it's not clear what I'm saying. Am I saying that the due date hasn't officially been set yet, but it
will be set for March 2 in the future? That doesn't really make sense. If I know the due date in the present, I'd say the due date
is March 2. But if I don't know the due date, I wouldn't give a specific date that I'd announce in the future, right?
Could the "will be" mean that the payment date is
itself in the future? That seems pretty obvious. Who gets a notice saying "your payment is due right this second?"
All to say, the "will be" creates an incoherent meaning. At best, it's less clear than an alternative, and that's enough to give an answer choice the boot.
I hope that clears things up!
