Question

Fill in the blank by choosing the correct option to complete the notice on a school notice board.
We are pleased to announce that our Annual Sports Day............ on 30th April, 2025 at the school playground from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
 

• A. is held
• B. will be held
• C. had been held
• D. to be held

Hint:

In notices or formal announcements for future events, always use the simple future passive: “will be held.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To choose the right option for the blank, we must analyze the context and the event's timing. Here are the choices:

• is held: This describes a regular or ongoing event, not suitable for a future date.
• will be held: This future tense fits because it describes a planned event for April 30, 2025.
• had been held: This past perfect tense indicates a completed past event, making it unsuitable.
• to be held: While future-oriented, this is less direct and better suited for passive voice or different contexts.

Considering the notice is about a future event, the correct choice is:

"will be held"

The complete sentence should therefore read:

We are pleased to announce that our Annual Sports Day will be held on 30th April, 2025 at the school playground from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
