Q1Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank in the given sentence: If they _____________ that picture lower, people would be able to see it.

A don't hang
B hung
C hang
D would hang
Explanation

The sentence expresses an unreal or hypothetical present condition: if the picture were placed lower, people would be able to see it. In a second conditional sentence, the if-clause takes the simple past, so “hung” fits correctly. “Hang” is present tense and does not match the hypothetical structure. “Don't hang” gives a negative present meaning, which changes the sentence. “Would hang” is also incorrect because standard second conditional form does not normally use “would” inside the if-clause.

Q2Choose the most appropriate word to complete the given sentence: If you ________ a skeleton in the cellar, don't mention it to anyone.

A will find
B find
C founded
D will be finding
Explanation

In a first conditional sentence, the if-clause normally takes the simple present, while the main clause carries the future or imperative sense. Here, "If you find" correctly sets the condition, and "don't mention" gives the instruction. "Will find" is not used in the if-clause for this ordinary future condition. "Founded" is the past form of a different verb meaning to establish something, so it does not fit. "Will be finding" is an awkward future continuous form and cannot complete the condition naturally.
