Question

Use the right conjunction:

_______ somebody walked in here with a gun, I'd be very frightened.

• A. If
• B. When
• C. As
• D. As soon as

Answer 1

The correct option is A If

Subordinating conjunction 'if' is used when one clause of a sentence is dependent upon the other clause being possible, ie, an action is possible in case of the first action occurring. Here, the subordinate clause indicates the first action - somebody walking with a gun, and the main clause indicates resulting action - speaker being frightened. Therefore, the correct option is: if.
