2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): -2 May
Explanation: In the given context, the modal verb "may" is the most suitable option. Here's the revised sentence: "First, you have to look for trusted websites to choose your next tourist destination and find out more about it. Now, based on your tastes, you may be ready to explore a nice city, enjoy good food, and have great fun." The use of "may" implies that based on the individual's tastes and preferences, there is a possibility or likelihood that they are ready to explore a city, enjoy good food, and have fun. It leaves room for flexibility and acknowledges that the decision ultimately depends on the person's preferences and choices.

29 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 will be ready
Explanation: 'Now, based on your tastes, you are/will/may be ready' As the sentence starts with 'Now', I think 'you are ready' is the best option. If the sentence started with 'Then', I would write ''you will be ready'. 'You may be ready' means the same as 'you might be ready'; i.e. you will possibly be ready.

I've just realised that I wrote 'you will be ready' in the answer box. I meant to write 'Now, ...you are ready' or 'Then, ...you will be ready'.

Option 1. Now, based on your tastes, you are ready to explore a nice city, enjoy good food and have great fun. Option 2. Then, based on your tastes, you will (you'll) be ready to explore a nice city, enjoy good food and have great fun. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. When we're giving instructions, we often start with 'First/First of all...', which is followed by 'then...'. 'First you have to look for websites and now you're ready to explore' sounds strange to my ears.

Hi, Rosario. I’ll try and explain my answer more clearly. The second sentence: ‘Now, based on your tastes, you are/will/may be ready to explore a nice city, enjoy good food and have great fun.’ starts with the word ‘Now’, so ‘you are ready’ is the best option. However, if you change ‘Now’ and start the sentence with ‘Then’, (which I think sounds better), the best option is ‘you will be ready’. The result would be ‘Then, based on your tastes, you will (you’ll) be ready to explore a nice city, enjoy good food and have great fun. Do you understand now? If you don’t change that to ‘Then’, ‘you

Sorry about the incomplete sentence at the end of my answer but I’m writing on my mobile.

Asker: Helena, sorry but I still don't understand which one between ' are ready ' and ' will be ready ' is the best choice as it seems that you have chosen ' are ready '.
Asker: That's very strange because from all of your preferences, the results show that the best choice is ' will be ready ' (see 4+3 will be ready). Therefore, I still don't understand why you are still talking about ' are ready '. Is ' will be ready or ' are ready ' the best choice ? Would you please make it as clear as possible?
Asker: Thanks a lot all of you !
Asker: Yes, I understand now. Thanks a lot Helena.
