arorniI don't know if the use of future tense is correct but there are other ways to get to the answer:-
Now Parliamentary debates is plural and need to be followed by begin and not begins,
So eliminate A & C.
Coffee Supplies should be followed by Last
Eliminate B & D.
You are left with E.
Thanks for the reply.Yes, you are right. Although my answer was correct. I just wanted to know, why we have used will here. Is it ok to do that?
arorni , yes, customarily we use simple present to talk about scheduled events.
Using the simple present tense "will begin," though, is not wrong—
and not something I have ever seen tested in an official question.
The show begins at 9 p.m. is the standard construction.
The show will begin at 9 p.m. is neither standard nor wrong.
I would not worry about the issue.
Manat , +1 for a good philosophy and for helping.
All: If you can, pick the answer that uses only the present tense to talk about a scheduled event.
On the other hand, if you have one answer that remains after POE
but that uses "will" to talk about a scheduled event?
Pick that answer; the use of "will" is not ungrammatical, but it is not standard, either.
I doubt that you will ever see this issue tested.
Hope that helps.
