must use first conditional here i.e will

comparing level A with level B, so must use that rather than those


B

I got B as well...

I used the If...then tense constructions rules (from MGMAT SC book):

If <present>, then <will + base verb>
If <past>, then <would/could + base verb>
If <past perfect>, then <would/could + have + past participle>

Cheers,
jjhko

Here we predict so we can use will.

B is better than A.

Refers to the future - use 'will'... C D E eliminated.

Level is singular - use 'that'... A eliminated.

use of will preferred over would in this case.

Please could anyone help me with this.

I don't understand when to use will and when to use would.

Will is in the future right.
I will do this tomorrow. (here will is definitely do it)
I would do this tomorrow. (here would means that i may do it - most likely)

When we say predict, we have to say "will"

jjhko, i don't understand your explanation. Will itself is future right, how do you say present. Can you give me some examples.

If <present>, then <will + base verb>
If <past>, then <would/could + base verb>
If <past perfect>, then <would/could + have + past participle>

PS, Matt, u2lover, all you good verbal experts, can you help me here.

Thanks

rnachloo, here are some examples stright from MGMAT SC book to clarify:

Present:
If she wins the lottery, she will give half the money to charity.
If you study, you will score highly

Past:
If she won the lottery, she would give half the money to charity.
If you studied, you would score highly.

Past Perfect:
If she had won the lottery, she would have given half the money to charity.
If she had studied, you would have scored highly.

Let me know if these make sense.

Cheers,
jjhko
