Answer: Option D
:
D
‘Would’ cannot be used in the conditional clause, hence goes is correct. If the ‘if clause’ haspresent tense (goes through) it should be followed by ‘will’. In sentence 2 the main clause has ‘would have’ therefore the ‘if clause’ must be in the past perfect tense (had brought). In sentence 3 present tense (is) should be followed by ‘will be’. In 4 the conditional clause isin the simple past tense, hence it should be followed by ‘would have donated’. Hence BBAAB.ANS: option D
