    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment.
    Wasim agreed to share his notes with Arif on conditions that he are return them in a day.

    A.

    on condition that he will be return

    B.

    No substitution required

    C.

    on his condition that he is returning

    D.

    on the condition that he would return

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) on the condition that he would return.
    Explanation:
    The phrase “on conditions that he are return” is grammatically incorrect for two reasons:
    1. “on conditions” should be “on the condition” – singular and specific.
    2. “he are return” is incorrect in both subject-verb agreement and tense.
    The context implies a conditional promise in the past. Since "agreed" is in past tense, the condition also needs to be expressed using the past form "would return".
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Conditional clauses in reported speech typically follow this format:
    · Past + would + base verb
    · Example:
    · She promised that she would help me.
    · He agreed on the condition that he would arrive on time.
    Information Booster:
    “On the condition that” is a fixed phrase used to express a binding requirement. Always use singular “condition” and match tense to context.
