Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank: You ______ yourself…

Correct answer: will injure

Full corrected sentence: You will injure yourself if you are too near that machine.

• Why this form is needed: Use the first conditional for a likely future result: If + present simple, then will + base verb.

• If-clause (present simple): if you are too near that machine

• Main clause (will + base verb): you will injure yourself

• Why the other choices are wrong:

• have injured — This is present perfect and refers to a completed past action, not a future consequence.

• injure — The base form alone does not express the future result required here.

• injured — This is a past participle/adjective and does not form the correct future verb phrase.
