Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: The correct modal is "shall".
The sentence gives a real future condition: if it does not rain tomorrow. Since the instruction asks for a definite future plan with the subject "we", "shall" is the most appropriate modal.
Correct sentence: If it does not rain tomorrow, we shall go out for a cricket match.
"Could" would only show possibility or a tentative suggestion. "Couldn't" is negative and contradicts the meaning. "Would" is usually used for unreal or hypothetical conditions, such as "If it rained, we would...".
