Yes option 'C' is the answer. But there is a doubt.

Can't we write "And you never will get it back" instead of "And you will never get it back"?

I think both of them are correct. If somebody have answer to my question please comment.

I thought it should be: If you were to lend him your book, you will not see it. Does that sound right?

Ever and never always go before main verb.

Sumanth said:   1 decade ago
Never actually refers here it wouldn't get back.

Then why should we use back again in sentence.

"never" is the keyword for simple present tense, so we should not use it for "future tense".

'You will never' is correct.

Pintu said:   1 decade ago
Rule-Never and ever go immediately before the main verb.

Ram said:   1 decade ago
Yes agree never placed before main verb.

Amit kumar said:   1 decade ago
Never will be used after helping verb will, because it's first use of conditional sentence.

Did anybody notice "some one"? That is an error too. It should be "someone".
