Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bracketed segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'no substitution required'.
(I wouldn't cross him if I was you, not) if you value your life.
Option 1: No substitution required
Option 2: I wouldn't has crossed him if I were you, not
Option 3: I wouldn't had crossed him if I was you, not
Option 4: I wouldn't cross him if I were you, not
Correct Answer: I wouldn't cross him if I were you, not
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
Explanation : The phrase "if I was you" should be changed to "if I were you" for the correct subject-verb agreement in this conditional sentence. The correct use of the subjunctive mood is "if I were you". Additionally, adding "not" helps emphasise the consequence or warning about the potential danger if you cross him.
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: " I wouldn't cross him if I were you, not if you value your life."
