Question and options
Directions: Choose the phrase which best completes the conditional statement.
I can't accept your proposal,
- unless the company gives me the list of benefits.
- if the company is giving me a list of benefits.
- if the list of benefits is here.
- untill the list of benefits are given to me.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - unless the company gives me the list of benefits.
'I can't accept your proposal unless the company gives me the list of benefits' is correct, as 'unless' means 'if not'. 'Untill the list of benefits are given to me' misspells 'until' and has a subject-verb agreement error, while the 'if' clauses make no sense with 'can't'.
