Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. provided.
- 'Provided' means 'on the condition that' and is used to introduce a condition that must be met for something to occur. It is similar to 'if' in that it sets a condition for acceptance.
-
So both 'if' and 'provided' are appropriate in this context, but 'if' is more commonly used in everyday language.
-
So 'provided' is the correct option to fill the blank.
