Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: the time word 'tomorrow' indicates the future, and the subject receives the action, so use the future passive form.
Identify the time reference: 'tomorrow' → future.
Decide voice: 'New members' receive the cards → passive voice is appropriate.
Form the future passive: will be + past participle → will be issued.
Correct sentence: New members will be issued temporary identity cards tomorrow.
Why the others are incorrect:
Have been issued — present perfect passive implies the cards have already been given, which conflicts with 'tomorrow'.
Were issued — simple past refers to a completed past action, not a future event.
Were going to be issued — this expresses a prior plan or reported intention and is not the straightforward future statement required here.
