The correct answers are spend, will fail, and might pass.

This uses the First Conditional to talk about a real, possible future event and its likely result.

The structure is: If + present simple, will/can/might + base verb.

Notice how we use the present simple ("spend") in the "if" clause, and a future modal ("will fail", "might pass") in the main clause to describe the future consequence.
