CHOICES

6

Choice-A

"The result will be the same whether you attend tomorrow’s meeting or not."

The sentence is grammatically correct. The phrase “whether…or not” is used to show two possible situations where the result remains the same in both cases. In this sentence, the two situations are you attend the meeting or you do not attend the meeting, so “whether” correctly expresses this idea.

Correct No change

7

Choice-B

"The result will be the same as soon as you attend tomorrow’s meeting or not."

The sentence is incorrect because 'as soon as ' shows time (immediately after something happens), which does not fit the meaning. "Whether" or "whether or not" would be more suitable to convey the intended meaning.

Wrong as soon as

8

Choice-C

"The result will be the same whenever you attend tomorrow’s meeting or not."

The sentence is incorrect because "whenever" implies an indefinite time, while "tomorrow’s meeting" is specific. It creates confusion, as "whenever" suggests any time, but the rest of the sentence refers to a specific event happening tomorrow. Use "whether" instead for clarity.

Wrong whenever

9

Choice-D

"The result will be the same once you attend tomorrow’s meeting or not."

The sentence is incorrect because "once" implies a specific time when an action occurs, but "or not" introduces uncertainty, making it contradictory. Use "whether" instead of "once" to convey that the result will be the same whether you attend tomorrow’s meeting or not.

Wrong once
