Were he to ask for help, I ______ him.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. would support
- Step 1: 'Were he to' is an inverted second conditional; the main clause takes 'would'.
Answer
would support.
Why not the others: "supported" is wrong because the simple past cannot be the main verb of this conditional. "support" is wrong because the base form is not a conditional main clause. "will support" is wrong because 'will' does not fit the hypothetical inverted 'Were he to'.
