Question

Which of the following sentences uses the participle phrase to express a condition?

• A. We can move on to the next chapter should there be no more questions.
• B. If no one has any more questions, we can move on to the next chapter.
• C. Provided that no one has any more questions, we can move on to the next chapter.
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

The correct option is C Provided that no one has any more questions, we can move on to the next chapter.

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.

Option C uses the participle to express a condition as 'provided' is used as a past participle. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
