Question

If he ______ a little freedom, he would misuse it :

• A. is given
• B. has given
• C. was given
• D. had given

Answer 1

Answer:

C. was given

• "was given": Correct because it fits the structure of a second conditional sentence, which is used to talk about hypothetical situations (സാങ്കൽപ്പിക സാഹചര്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് സംസാരിക്കാൻ). In this case, it's a hypothetical past condition with a present result.
• If he was given a little freedom, he would misuse it. / അല്പം സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം കിട്ടിയിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ അയാൾ അത് ദുരുപയോഗം ചെയ്യുമായിരുന്നു.
• "is given": Incorrect because it represents a present simple condition, which does not fit the hypothetical nature of the sentence.
• "has given": Incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense, which does not fit the conditional structure required here.
• "had given": Incorrect because it is in the past perfect tense, which is used for third conditional sentences and would not be appropriate for the present result in this context.
