Solve: 2. Providing that he ---- hard, she'll pass the exam. a)she studies b)she'll be studying c)she'll study d)she is studying

Answer 1

“She studies”

This one is simple (literally).

This sentence is a conditional: a future event almost certainly will happen IF something specific happens NOW. Thus, the first half of the sentence is always present simple tense, in this case third person. The confusion here happens because the sentence opens with “providing” which looks like a verb but in this case is a conjunctive adverb. Then you have future tense “she will” in the second half of the sentence. It confuses things.
