We will leave ________ you are ready.
A. as B. Whenever C. while D. until
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is D. until.
- Until: This is the correct choice because it indicates that the action of leaving will be delayed until the specified condition (you being ready) is met.
- As: Incorrect, as it implies simultaneity or reason, which does not fit the context of waiting until a condition is met.
- Whenever: Incorrect, as it implies that the action can occur at any time that the condition is met, not specifically waiting for a condition to be fulfilled before acting.
- While: Incorrect, as it suggests that two actions are happening simultaneously, which does not fit the context of waiting until a condition is met.
Summary:
- We will leave until you are ready correctly conveys that the departure will be postponed until the person is ready.
