Error spotting (exam direction): Identify the erroneous part (A/B/C) — choose D if there is no error — 'If she will be promoted / she will get / a higher salary. / No error.'

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: If she will be promoted

Explanation:


Given parts (A–D)
A. If she will be promotedB. she will getC. a higher salary.D. No error.


Concept/Approach (if-clause tense)
In real conditional sentences, the 'if' clause normally uses present simple (not 'will'). Passive is fine, but without 'will': 'If she is promoted, she will get…'


Step-by-step correction
1) Remove 'will' in the 'if' clause: 'If she is promoted…'2) Full: 'If she is promoted, she will get a higher salary.'


Common pitfalls
Using 'will' in the conditional clause instead of in the main clause.


Final Answer
A — use 'If she is promoted…'
