If she exercises daily, / she would / remain energetic / and fit forever.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. she would.
Error Concept: Conditional sentence (tense mismatch)
What is wrong: The use of "would" is incorrect because the sentence requires a simple future tense.
Grammar Concept: When the "if" clause is in the simple present tense, the main clause should be in the simple future tense.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using "would" after "if" in the present tense context is incorrect.
Correction: Replace "would" with "will".
Corrected phrase: she will
Final sentence: If she exercises daily, she will remain energetic and fit forever.
