Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key

Analyze the question: The sentence is "We will leave ... you are ready." We need the option that makes a correct, meaningful sentence.

Test each option:

A. "We will leave as when you are ready" is ungrammatical, because "as when" is not a standard conjunction here.
B. "We will leave whenever you are ready" is correct. "Whenever" means "at any time that," so the sentence says we will leave at whatever time you are ready.
C. "We will leave as ever you are ready" is wrong, because "as ever" doesn't work as a conjunction here.
D. "We will leave soon as you are ready" is incomplete. The correct idiom is "as soon as" (or informally "soon as"), but standard exam English requires "as soon as", so this is not accepted.

Concept: "Whenever" is a conjunction of time meaning "at any time that." It joins the main clause (We will leave) to the subordinate clause (you are ready).

Example: "Call me whenever you need help."

Answer: B. whenever.

Tip: In "fill in the blank" English questions, read the full sentence with each option. If the option sounds awkward or leaves out a word (like D, which lacks the first "as"), eliminate it. Remember the pair "as soon as" as a complete unit.
