Awould have helped

Bwill help

Cwould help

Dwill be helped

Answer:

C. would help

Read Explanation:

  • സാധ്യമല്ലാത്ത (unlikely) ഒരു കാര്യത്തെ കുറിച്ച് ഊഹിച്ചു (hypothetical) പറയുന്ന വാക്യങ്ങളാണ് Second Conditional. 
  • ഇത്തരം വാക്യങ്ങളിൽ Subordinate Clause ൽ ക്രിയയുടെ simple past (V2) രൂപം ഉപയോഗിക്കുകയും Main Clause ൽ ക്രിയയ്ക്കൊപ്പം 'would' ചേർക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
  • 'If I had money, I would help the poor'. This is a second conditional sentence, which is used to talk about hypothetical situations. The structure is "If + past simple, ... would + base verb."
  • would have helped - This is incorrect because "would have helped" is used for third conditional sentences referring to hypothetical past situations, not present or future hypotheticals.
  • will help - This is incorrect because "will help" indicates a definite future action, not a hypothetical one.
  • will be helped - This is incorrect because it changes the voice to passive and does not fit the conditional sentence structure.
