答えを見る
正解: A) is
The 'if' clause is a conditional adverbial clause, and even when it refers to a future event, it uses the present tense. So 'is' is correct. 'Were' is the subjunctive past, used for something contrary to fact, and clashes with the realistic context of 'starting in April'. 'Being' and 'to be' can't serve as a finite main verb.
