    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to improve the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select ‘No improvement required’.
    You might spot a tiger in the Sariska reserve if you would be lucky.

    A.

    if you are

    B.

    No improvement required

    C.

    if it was

    D.

    then you are

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution is (a) if you are.
    Explanation:
    The phrase “if you would be lucky” is grammatically incorrect. In a first conditional sentence, we use present simple in the “if-clause” and modal verb (might/will/can) in the main clause.
    Correct structure:
    · Main clause: You might spot a tiger
    · If-clause: if you are lucky
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · First Conditional Rule:
    · If + present simple, → will/can/may/might + base verb
    · “Would” is not used in the "if" clause of first conditionals.
    Correct sentence:
    You might spot a tiger in the Sariska reserve if you are lucky.
    Example:
    · If you are careful, you might succeed.
