In a user instruction manual, which conditional sentence correctly expresses an automated safety interlock function?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. If the guard door opens, the motor stops automatically
- Step 1: The zero conditional ('If + present simple, present simple') describes automatic mechanical reactions and universal technical facts. Answer: If the guard door opens, the motor stops automatically. Why not the others: Mixing past and present tenses violates conditional rules, and 'will' does not appear in the if-clause.
