Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The given sentence is an example of the first conditional sentence. These sentences express realistic future situations and their likely outcomes, structured as If + present simple, will + base verb. They are used for probable events, warnings, and promises (e.g., "If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay home"). Modal verbs like may or might can replace will to show possibility.
Therefore, “might drive on for hours’ should be replaced with ‘will drive on for hours’.
