EnglishCorrelating Sentences
- Ahe will not come
- Bhe may not come
- Che does not come
- Dhe did not come
Explanation
The keyed completion is (b) 'he may not come', expressing the lingering uncertainty during the wait ('I waited for him; he may not come'). The simple-past (d) 'he did not come' would need a conjunction ('but he did not come') to join the clauses, and the other options mismatch the past-tense narrative. Both the source key and the cross-check key agree on (b).
