Suman will be fired if she did not complete the delegated target set by her boss.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. if she does not complete the delegated target.
Correct Phrase: if she does not complete the delegated target
Meaning: This phrase correctly matches the tense of the main clause and shows a present/future condition.
Example: He will be upset if she does not attend the meeting.
Meaning of the other options:
if she do not complete the delegated target: Incorrect because 'do' should be 'does' with singular subject she.
No substitution: Incorrect because the original sentence has a tense mismatch.
if she had not complete the delegated target: Incorrect because 'had not complete' is grammatically wrong; it should be 'had not completed' and also the tense does not match the main clause.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
