Complete the sentence: ___ you rather go? Either time works for me.

• A. When would
• B. Would you
• C. How would
• D. Where would

Answer: (A)

The key idea is asking a preference about timing. When you want someone to choose between options based on time, you use a question word for time at the start and invert the subject and auxiliary: When would you rather go? The phrase would you rather is a natural fixed way to ask someone which option they prefer, and go is the action in question. The rest of the sentence, Either time works for me, confirms we’re choosing between two possible times, not between places or methods. The other starters don’t fit this context: Would you would begin a question about preference but would lack the time-specific cue; How would you would ask about manner or method; Where would you would ask about location.
