Question and options
Directions: Choose the phrase which best completes the conditional statement.
If her condition does not improve,
- we will shift her to another clinic.
- we shifted her to another clinic.
- we would have shifted her to another clinic.
- we must be shifting her to another clinic.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - we will shift her to another clinic.
A first (real) conditional uses 'if' + present simple with 'will' + verb in the result: 'If her condition does not improve, we will shift her to another clinic.' The past tense 'shifted' and 'would have shifted' belong to other conditional types, and 'must be shifting' is not a natural result clause here.
