Choose the inverted modal verb to complete the conditional request:
_____ you require any further documentation regarding the import permits, please do not hesitate to contact our customs liaison.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Should
- Step 1: Identify conditional inversion in a first conditional (real possibility in present/future): 'If you require...' can be inverted by replacing 'if' with 'Should'.
- Step 2: Complete the inverted condition: 'Should you require any further documentation...'.
Answer
Should.
Why not the others: 'Were' is used for second conditional inversion (e.g., 'Were you to require...'); 'Had' is used for third conditional inversion (e.g., 'Had you required...'); 'Would' cannot head an inverted conditional clause.
