Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. it will prove to be good.
- The sentence is an example of the first conditional sentence.
- The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other clause:
- if + present simple, ... will + infinitive.
- It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future.
- If you join this job now, it will prove to be good in the long run.
- In the question, the speaker is talking about what will happen in the future i.e. 'long run' if he joins the job now. So, we will use the simple future tense i.e. 'will prove to be'.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
