Answer 1

Hint: Conditional phrases are those sentences that indicate one action or event depending on another action. Conditional phrases usually contain a main clause and an “if conditional’.

Complete answer:
This sentence shows a fact and is making a statement about a real and possible situation. Hence, it is using the first conditional that employs forms of verbs in present and future tenses. The structure of the first conditional is: "If" Clause (If + present simple + comma) followed by Main Clause (Subject + will/other modal + base verb).

Option A) See-will give – This is the correct option because See-will give has verbs of present and future tenses. Hence, this option is correct.

Option B) Saw-would give – This is an incorrect option because Saw-would give does not contain verbs of present and future tenses. It has a verb of Past tense. Hence, this option is not correct.

Option C) Meet – would visit - This is an incorrect option because Meet – would visit does not contain verbs of present and future tenses. It has a verb of Past tense. Hence, this option is not correct.

Option D) Had seen-would give - This is an incorrect option because Had seen-would give does not contain verbs of present and future tenses. It has a verb of Past tense. Hence, this option is not correct.

Hence the right answer to this is option (A).

Note: For choosing the correct option you should know the actual and correct meaning of the asked sentence. Study of all types of conditional sentences are required.
