    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 can have a comfortable journey only then you are getting your seats reserved in advance.

    A.

    only then you get

    B.

    no improvement required

    C.

    only when you are getting

    D.

    only if you get

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution is (d) only if you get.
    Explanation:
    · The phrase "only then" is used for consequences, not conditions.
    · The sentence is conditional in nature, so we need to use “only if” to show the condition for a comfortable journey.
    · “You are getting” is grammatically awkward here; correct form is “you get” (simple present for real conditions).
    Correct Sentence:
    You can have a comfortable journey only if you get your seats reserved in advance.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    ✔ Real condition → use simple present in the “if-clause”
    ✔ Use only if for emphasizing a condition.
    �� Grammar Booster:
    Conditional sentences (Type 1) →
    If/Only if + present tense, main clause → will/can/may + base verb
