If I were you, I ___________________ ( go ) straightway.
Correct Answer
would goExplanation
The correct answer is "would go" because the phrase "If I were you" indicates a hypothetical situation or a contrary-to-fact condition. In this type of condition, we use the past tense of "be" ("were") and the modal verb "would" to express a hypothetical action or decision. Therefore, "would go" is the appropriate form to complete the sentence.Rate this question:

If she comes,
- A.
We will go to lunch.
- B.

Correct Answer
A. We will go to lunch.Explanation
The correct answer is "we will go to lunch." This is because the sentence is in the present tense and expresses a future conditional action.

I would buy a new house
- A.
If I have a lot of money.
- B.

Correct Answer
C. If I inherited a million dollars.Explanation
The correct answer is "if I inherited a million dollars." This option suggests that the person would buy a new house only if they received a large sum of money through inheritance. The other two options mention having a lot of money or winning the lottery, but they do not specifically mention the person receiving a million dollars. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is the one that directly addresses the condition mentioned in the question.Rate this question:
