Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation:
> "They will not only sign the contracts but a lot of goods ____ as well."
We are talking about future events (notice "will sign"), and we need the second part ("a lot of goods ____") to match the structure. Also, "a lot of goods" is passive — goods are bought (not buying themselves).
Now, checking the options:
- A. will buy — Active voice; wrong because "goods" are not doing the buying. Incorrect.
- B. to buy — Infinitive; doesn't fit the sentence structure. Incorrect.
- C. they buy — Simple present active; wrong structure here. Incorrect.
- D. they bought — Simple past; wrong tense and active voice. Incorrect.
- E. will be bought — Future passive; perfect fit for "a lot of goods" being bought. Correct.
