The correct sentence is: Even if we leave right now, we'll be late to the event, and all of the seats will be taken.

Explanation for each option:

  1. We'll be late to the event, even if we leave right now, and all of the seats will be taken.

    • This sentence is grammatically correct, but it places the adverb clause in the middle of the sentence, which is less clear and can be more confusing for the reader.
  2. We'll be late to the event, even if we leave right now and all of the seats will be taken.

    • This sentence is incorrect because it lacks a comma before "and," which makes it unclear that "even if we leave right now" is an adverb clause modifying the main clause.
  3. Even if we leave right now we'll be late to the event, and all of the seats will be taken.

    • This sentence is almost correct but is missing a comma after "right now," which is necessary to properly punctuate the adverb clause.
  4. Even if we leave right now, we'll be late to the event, and all of the seats will be taken.

    • This sentence is correct. It properly punctuates the adverb clause "Even if we leave right now" with a comma, making the sentence clear and easy to read.
