Dream Jobs

Respuesta correcta: A) pass / will be

• A) pass / will beCorrect. First Conditional (present simple + will).
• B) pass / was'Was celebrating' is past continuous, but the interview and the celebration are both tomorrow, so the main clause of a first conditional takes 'will' plus infinitive.
• C) passed / would beThis is Second Conditional.
• D) will pass / amIncorrect. 'Will' is not used in the 'if' clause.

Respuesta correcta: A) unless / improve

• A) unless / improveCorrect. 'Unless' means 'if not'.
• B) if / don't improveCorrect, but 'unless' is also being tested.
• C) unless / don't improveIncorrect. Double negative.
• D) when / improve'When' marks a point in time rather than a condition, so it would say the improvement happens at some moment rather than making the result depend on it.

Respuesta correcta: C) When / will apply

• A) Unless / apply'Unless' means 'if not', so it would invert the logic of the sentence. And 'apply' needs 'will' for a future event.
• B) If / applied'If' is possible, but 'applied' is past tense while the graduation and the master's degree are still ahead.
• C) When / will applyCorrect. 'When' for certain future events + 'will'.
• D) When / applyThis pair is right except for the main clause: a definite future event needs 'will apply', not the bare infinitive.

Respuesta correcta: A) will lose / learn

• A) will lose / learnCorrect. Standard First Conditional.
• B) lost / learned'Lost' and 'learned' are both past tense, so this reads as a past-to-past account rather than as what will happen.
• C) lose / will learnThis reverses the clauses: 'lose' describes what happens if the condition is met, but 'will learn' wrongly puts the future in the 'unless' clause.
• D) would lose / learn'Would lose' belongs to the second conditional (hypothetical, often imagined), while the sentence states a real condition that will probably be met.

Respuesta correcta: C) will help / provided

• A) helped / when'Helped' is past tense and 'when' introduces a time clause, not a condition, so the two do not pair here.
• B) help / unless'Unless' means 'if not', which would make the meaning the opposite of what the sentence needs.
• C) will help / providedCorrect. 'Provided' is a B2 synonym for 'if'.
• D) would help / if'Would help' is the second conditional for a hypothetical; the speaker is stating a concrete future promise, so 'will help' and 'if' fit.

Respuesta correcta: B) want / will need

• A) will want / need'Will want' puts the future tense in the if-clause, but a first conditional keeps present tense there and places 'will' in the main clause.
• B) want / will needCorrect. First Conditional.
• C) wanted / would needCorrect Second Conditional, but B is more likely for direct advice.
• D) want / needCorrect for Zero Conditional, but B is more specific to the future.

Respuesta correcta: C) won't sign / if

• A) signs / unless'Signs ... unless' states that the contract is signed when the check does not pass, which is the reverse of the intended condition.
• B) will sign / unless'Will sign ... unless' says the contract is signed only if the candidate does NOT pass, which inverts the condition.
• C) won't sign / ifCorrect. Negative future based on a condition.
• D) won't sign / unless'Won't sign ... unless' is contradictory: not signing unless the check passes asserts the opposite outcome for a failing candidate.

Respuesta correcta: D) is offered / will refuse

• A) offers / refuses'Offers' is active, but nobody offers a salary to themselves here; the company offers it, so the receiving side must be passive.
• B) was offered / would refuseSecond Conditional.
• C) has offered / refuses'Has offered' is a present perfect with an active subject, and 'refuses' is present simple, which does not match a future outcome.
• D) is offered / will refuseCorrect. Passive voice in First Conditional.

Respuesta correcta: A) secures / will be able

• A) secures / will be ableCorrect. First Conditional for business milestones.
• B) secures / is goingPossible, but 'will be able' is more standard.
• C) secured / would be ableSecond Conditional.
• D) had secured / would have been ableThird Conditional.

Respuesta correcta: B) decide / will prepare

• A) decided / would prepareAfter the conditional 'Should you decide', the main clause needs a future form; 'decided' is past tense and does not pair with this inversion.
• B) decide / will prepareCorrect. 'Should' used as a formal replacement for 'if'.
• C) will decide / prepare'Will decide' belongs in the 'should' clause, not the main clause, and 'prepare' is left without an auxiliary.
• D) decides / will prepareWith 'Should' inverted from 'If you should', the clause takes the bare infinitive 'decide'; the third-person 'decides' does not follow a modal.

Respuesta correcta: D) builds / will be

• A) builds / isCorrect for Zero Conditional.
• B) built / was'Built' and 'was' are both past, so this reads as a past condition and past result rather than a principle about career prospects.
• C) has built / is'Has built' is present perfect and pairs with 'is', which makes the sentence a statement of fact about the present, not a conditional principle.
• D) builds / will beCorrect. First Conditional with 'unless' for a general career principle.

Respuesta correcta: D) maintains / will

• A) maintains / she willThis leaves the subject 'she' in place, so the inversion that 'only if' requires is missing.
• B) maintained / wouldWith 'only if' inverted the subject comes first and the auxiliary follows, as in 'only if she maintains her pace will she succeed'.
• C) will maintain / she'Maintained' is past tense and 'would' belongs to the second conditional; 'only if' inverted takes present tense plus 'will'.
• D) maintains / willCorrect. Inversion with 'Only if' requires 'will' before the subject.
