• A. I won't be able to pass the exam unless I focus on my studies from now.
• B. I will pass the exam provided I focus on my studies from now.
• C. Had I focused on my studies, I would not have failed the exam.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

I will pass the exam provided I focus on my studies from now.

A phrase is a group of words that is an important component in any sentence. The participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. The present participle phrase ends with -ing. The past participle phrase ends with -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.

Thus, option B is the correct answer as 'provided' is used as a past participle.
