Question

Transform the below sentence without changing its meaning by using the conditional word-if:
Unless you slow down the vehicle, the tyres will wear out.

• A. If you do not slow down the vehicle, the tyres will wear out.
• B. If you do not slow down the vehicle, the tyres will not wear out.
• C. If you slow down the vehicle, the tyres will wear out.
• D. If and unless you slow down the vehicle, the tyres will wear out.

Answer 1

The correct option is A If you do not slow down the vehicle, the tyres will wear out.

The word-'unless' is used in the place of "If ...not".

The given sentence can also be restated as-If you do not slow down the vehicle, the tyres will wear out. This is stated in option A. Hence, this is the correct answer.

Options B and C are incorrect as they convey a meaning which is opposite of the meaning of the given sentence.

Option D is grammatically incorrect as both the words- 'If' and 'unless' are used in the same sentence. This sentence conveys no meaning.
