Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. unless.
As the given statement expresses the condition we need to choose the option that shows the condition.
- unless- if... not; except if.
- otherwise- (used for stating what would happen if you do not do something or if something does not happen) if not.
- if- used in sentences in which one thing only happens or is true when another thing happens or is true.
- until- up to the time or the event mentioned.
We need a negative conditional connector that is "unless" hence it will be correct.
The correct sentence will be- The plant will die unless you look alter it.
