Question

Complete the meaning of the given sentence: If you behaved well, your peers \_\_\_\_\_\_ you.

• A. will respect
• B. would respect
• C. respect
• D. shall respect

Hint:

In conditional sentences, use "would" for hypothetical or unreal situations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In conditional sentences, when the situation is hypothetical or unreal, we use "would" for the future result. The correct option is "would respect" as it indicates a possible future consequence based on the condition of behavior. \begin{itemize} \item Option (a) will respect: This would be used in a real condition, but this is a hypothetical situation.
\item Option (c) respect: This is present tense, which does not fit the context.
\item Option (d) shall respect: "Shall" is more formal and typically used for first person. \end{itemize}
