Rahul Mehta answered |
The sentence is a second conditional, which expresses a hypothetical or unreal situation in the present or future. The two clauses in the sentence need to have verbs that are in agreement with this conditional.
The first clause needs a verb in the present tense, and the second clause needs a verb in the conditional tense.
Therefore, the correct verb forms to complete the sentence are "Give" (present tense) and "would" (conditional tense), making option D the correct answer.
Option A and B use present tense in both clauses, which doesn't fit the second conditional sentence structure. Option C uses the past tense in the first clause, which doesn't fit the present or future hypothetical situation described in the sentence.

The third conditional is used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations in the past. In this case, the situation (studying harder) did not happen, and the result (passing the exam) is also unreal.

Rahul Mehta answered |
Conditional sentences are statements discussing known factors or hypothetical situations and their consequences.
In the given sentence, it is talking about a hypothetical situation that can happen in the future, i.e., "If Raja goes to the park'.
Since, it is a hypothetical situation and not something that is happening or has happened, it is basically a future tense.
So the most appropriate answer would be 'will see'.
The sentence will be ' If Raja goes to the park, he will see his friends'.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The sentence is in the past tense and refers to an action that did not happen. Therefore, we need to use the past participle form of the verb in the conditional clause. The correct sentence would be: "If he had studied harder, he would have passed the test."

- Conditional sentences are statements discussing known factors or hypothetical situations and their consequences.
- One of the structures is mentioned below:
- This particular type is followed when we talk about something in the past which is purely imaginary.
- If + Simple Past, Subject + Would + V1 + Object.
- In case of imaginary sentences, 'were' is used with all subjects irrespective of their number.
- Example:
- If I had wings, I would fly like a bird.
- He shouted at me as if he were my coach.
- As per the structure given above, the 2nd option will be the only correct choice in the given blank.

- c)would be

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sharman will not eat food unless he _________ accompanied by her.
a)
was being
b)
is
c)
would be
d)
will
|
|
Rhea Reddy answered |
This sentence is a present conditional sentence where the conjunction "unless" is used to introduce the condition. The condition is that Sharman needs to be accompanied by someone in order to eat food. The correct verb form to complete the sentence is "is", which is the present tense of the verb "to be". Therefore, the correct sentence is "Sharman will not eat food unless he is accompanied by her." The other options - "was being", "would be", and "will" - do not fit the sentence grammatically or logically.

Rahul Mehta answered |
- The most appropriate option to fill in the given blank is 'scarcely'.
- The second clause of the given sentence has the conjunction 'when'.
- The adverb 'scarcely' means 'used to say that something happened immediately after something else happened'.
- With 'scarcely/hardly' the conjunction 'when' is used.
- Example: Scarcely had Yatin reached his office when he was given a lot of work, that he couldn't handle.
- Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 4.
