Rizan Malik Q1) Which one would you use and why, please? I would be interested to see is the more idiomatic form, so I would use that. will be interested is possible when we already know that efforts are already being made to find out, and we will soon know the answer, but I see nothing like that in the context surrounding the given sentence.
