Question

In the following sentence, identify the correct replacement for the highlighted phrase:

**If UK will agree to the provisions on e-commerce, it will mean it won't be allowed to impose data privatisation rules on industries looking to do business in UK.**

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence is a conditional sentence with an "if" clause.

2. In English grammar, the "if" clause in a conditional sentence should be in the simple present tense when the main clause is in the future tense.

3. Here, the phrase "If UK will agree" is incorrect because "will agree" is future tense in the "if" clause.

4. The correct form is to use the simple present tense "agrees" in the "if" clause.

5. Therefore, "will agree" should be replaced by "agrees".

**Answer:** Option (b) "agrees to the"
