Answer 1

Hint: Clause is a part of sentence that contains a verb. The given sentence is a type 2 conditional clause. These clauses are known as if-clauses.

Complete answer: Conditional clauses consist of two sentences. One is a clause that starts with if, which is called as if clause. The other is the main clause. Each sentence has a verb. It is imperative to know which tenses are to be used in these clauses as they play a major role in determining the meaning of the sentence.
The conditional sentences indicate a possible condition and its probable result. It clearly means that the expected actions depend on a condition. Type 2 clauses are used to express unreal situations, express dreams and things that are unlikely to happen.
The sentence can begin with an- if clause or a main clause. If the sentence begins with an if clause there will be a comma, between the if-clause and the main clause.
Option A) he will help the needy
This option is incorrect as will help states a future event and does not agree with the type 2 conditional clauses.
Option B) he would help the needy
This option is correct because it is a present conditional and follows the structure of type 2 conditional clauses.
Option C) he will help needy
This option is incorrect as it states a future event and it does not agree with the type 2 conditional clauses.
Option D) None of the above
This option is incorrect as the correct option is B

Note: While doing the questions of type 2 conditional clauses always remember that the main clause will start with would if the IF CLAUSE is in the simple past tense.
