Directions: Two sentences marked A and B are given below. Mark your answer as:
(A) if only A is correct
(B) if only B is correct
(C) if both A and B are correct
(D) if both A and B are wrong
(A) If I were an umbrella, I would lend it to you.
(B) If I had an umbrella, I would lend it to you.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Sentence A is incorrect because 'If I were an umbrella, I would lend it to you' has a pronoun error - 'I' and 'it' don't match. It should be 'I would lend you mine' or 'I would lend it to you' if the subject matched. Sentence B is correct because 'If I had an umbrella, I would lend it to you' properly uses second conditional with consistent pronouns and correct tense structure.
