Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The word "will" is a modal verb that is used to express certainty in the future. In the case of "either...or," the verb must agree with the subject closest to it.
Thus, "sure to" and "are" cannot come here, which makes "will" the correct choice in this context. It is used to express the certainty that one of the persons out of Kiran or Mala will be chosen for the school debate, maintaining the subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Either Kiran or Mala will be chosen for the school debate team."
