Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
This is a real possibility in the future. The "if" part takes the present ("rains") and the result takes "will": "will cancel".
Worth noting
"Would cancel" is for an imagined situation, as in "if it rained, we would cancel". It does not match the present "rains".
