If Tamara and Joe had taken a map they ....................................... lost now.

wouldn't be

may not be

won’t be

Answer explanation

The correct choice is "wouldn't be" because it indicates a hypothetical situation that didn't happen. "May not be" suggests uncertainty, but "wouldn't be" clearly states they are not lost if they had taken a map.

They wouldn’t be so exhausted if they ....................................... all day.

hiking

wouldn’t have been hiking

hadn’t hiked

Answer explanation

The correct choices 'wouldn’t have been hiking' and 'hadn’t hiked' fit the conditional structure, indicating that their exhaustion is a result of their activities. The other option does not maintain the correct tense.

My holiday would have turned out better ....................................... researched the country’s cultural heritage first.

had I

if I had

if I have

Answer explanation

The correct choices 'had I' and 'if I had' are both forms of the subjunctive mood, indicating a hypothetical situation. 'Had I' is a more formal inversion, while 'if I had' is a standard conditional form. 'If I have' is incorrect.

If Lisa Jones hadn’t uploaded such an amazing photo, she ....................................... be so famous now.

wouldn’t

wouldn’t have

mightn’t

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'wouldn’t' because it indicates a hypothetical situation in the present. 'Mightn’t' suggests possibility but does not fit the context of certainty about her fame resulting from the photo.

....................................... take on more responsibility, I might be considered for promotion.

Were I to

If I were to

Had I

Answer explanation

"Were I to" and "If I were to" are both correct as they express hypothetical situations. "Had I" implies a past condition that is not applicable here. Thus, the correct choices are "Were I to" and "If I were to".

....................................... for the negative effects of tourism, the island wouldn’t have such environmental problems.

Were it not

Were not it

If it weren’t

Answer explanation

"Were it not" and "If it weren’t" are correct because they express a hypothetical situation. The phrase indicates that without the negative effects of tourism, the island would not face environmental issues.

MULTIPLE SELECT QUESTION

1 min • 1 pt

Had I not run into Susanna the other day, I wouldn’t ....................................... about the camping trip.

have known

know

be knowing

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'have known' because the sentence uses a third conditional structure, which expresses a hypothetical situation in the past. 'Know' is incorrect as it does not fit the conditional form.
