Question

“Conditionals are sentences formed by adding an if clause (If the phone rings) to a main clause (I answer it) in order to formulate hypothesis”. (KIMINAMI, 2018, p. 138). KIMINAMI, Aline Yuri. Práticas Discursivas da Língua Inglesa. Maringá-Pr.: UniCesumar, 2018. Read the following excerpt from “Vanka” by Anton Chekhov: “Vanka's mouth worked, he rubbed his eyes with his black fist, and gave a sob. "I will powder your snuff for you," he went on. "I will pray for you, and if I do anything you can thrash me like Sidor's goat. And if you think I've no job, then I will beg the steward for Christ's sake to let me clean his boots, or I'll go for a shepherd-boy instead of Fedka […]”. Disponível em: .

The sentence “I will pray for you, and if I do anything you can thrash me […]” is an example of a first conditional sentence. II. The sentence “[…] if you think I've no job, then I will beg the steward […]” is an example of a first conditional sentence. III. The sentence “I'll go for a shepherd-boy instead of Fedka […]” is inadequate because it is not connected to any sentence before it. IV. The sentence “I will powder your snuff for you […]” is an example of a zero conditional sentence because it does not have the sentence with “if” as a complement. It is correct what is stated in: Alternativa 1: I and II, only. Alternativa 2: I, II and III, only. Alternativa 3: I, II and IV, only. Alternativa 4: I, III and IV, only.
