- A.

- B.
Didn't stay, were
- C.

C. Wouldn't stay, wereExplanation
In this sentence, the use of "wouldn't stay" indicates a hypothetical or unlikely situation. The verb "stay" is negated to show that he would not choose to stay at the Sheraton. The verb "were" is used to show the unreal or hypothetical condition of him being a poor man. So, the correct answer is "wouldn't stay, were".Rate this question:

- A.

Correct Answer
C. Had, would driveExplanation
The correct answer is "had, would drive". This is because the use of "had" indicates a past unreal condition, suggesting that the speaker does not currently have a car. The use of "would drive" suggests a hypothetical future action if the speaker did have a car. Therefore, if the speaker had a car, they would drive it to work.Rate this question:

If you ...... a tiger in the street, what ...... ?
- A.
Saw, would you do
- B.
'd seen, would you do
- C.
Saw, did you do
Correct Answer
A. Saw, would you doExplanation
The correct answer is "saw, would you do." This is the correct answer because it follows the correct conditional sentence structure. The first part of the sentence uses the past simple tense "saw" to describe the action of seeing a tiger in the street. The second part of the sentence uses the modal verb "would" to express a hypothetical situation or a conditional action. In this case, it is asking what the person would do if they saw a tiger in the street.Rate this question:

If I ...... stronger, I ...... you to carry the piano.
- A.
Am, 'd help
- B.
Were, 'd help
- C.
'd be, 'd help
Correct Answer
B. Were, 'd helpExplanation
The correct answer is "were, 'd help." This is because the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, which is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations. In this case, the speaker is imagining a situation where they are stronger, and in that hypothetical scenario, they would help the other person carry the piano. The use of "were" instead of "am" or "'d be" indicates that the statement is not true in reality, but rather a hypothetical condition.Rate this question:

They ...... stupid if they ...... him about their secret.
- A.
'd be, told
- B.
Were, told
- C.
'd be, tell
Correct Answer
A. 'd be, toldExplanation
If the sentence is completed, it would read: "They would be stupid if they told him about their secret." In this sentence, the use of "would be" suggests a hypothetical or conditional situation, indicating that if they were to tell him about their secret, they would be considered stupid. The word "told" is the correct past tense form of the verb "tell" to match the conditional phrasing.Rate this question:
