Model Answer
The correct answer is B: will be held
'Will be held' is correct as the notice refers to a future event (30th April, 2025), requiring future passive tense.
Explanation
- The event is scheduled in the future, so future tense is needed — eliminating A (simple present) and C (past perfect).
- The subject "Sports Day" is passive (it is held by others), so "will be held" (future passive) is correct.
- "To be held" (option D) is a non-finite form and cannot stand alone as the main verb in a sentence.
- Examiners look for correct tense + voice identification in fill-in-the-blank grammar questions.
