Hey there! Read the sentences out loud. Which one sounds correct to you?

I don't know if you'll return so for the future question searchers:

Easiest way to solve, especially if you speak and fluent in English then READ EACH ANSWER CHOICE OUT LOUD

Does it sound right?

Otherwise you have to now look at each word and their tense and ask yourself if it's correct
Like for example, answer choice B. The sentence is present tense
If we wait NOW
But then you get we WERE next in line
That's past tense

So to correct it, we would have to change 'were' to 'are'
