NDA (I) 2025 General Ability Test · Question 50 of 150

Correct — D, shall. Under the traditional rule these exams follow, plain future in the first person ('I' / 'we') is expressed with 'shall' — 'I shall consider the opinions of all stakeholders'. In everyday modern usage 'will' (option c) is also widely accepted for first-person future, so the two are close; the textbook first-person convention tips the item to 'shall'.

• (c)will — 'Will' is acceptable for first-person future in modern usage, but the traditional first-person rule the exam applies prefers 'shall' for plain future.
• (a)will not — 'Will not' negates the sentence, reversing the intended meaning of a commitment to consider the opinions.
• (b)have — 'I have consider' is ungrammatical — 'have' would need a past participle ('considered'), not the base verb 'consider'.

A modal-auxiliary point: by the traditional convention, plain future in the first person uses 'shall', while 'will' expresses determination — though modern usage blurs the two.
