• B. If he get the job, he would have to travel 25 km to work, so he decided the job was not worth it
• C. If he got the job, he would have to travel 25 km to work, so he decided the job is not worth it
• D. If he got the job, he would have to travel 25 km to work, so he decided the job was not worth it

Hint:

Maintain tense consistency in conditional sentences. If the condition is in the past (e.g., If he got the job), keep the rest of the sentence in a logically matching tense.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: A grammatically correct sentence must maintain proper tense consistency, especially in conditional sentences. Explanation: The sentence uses a past conditional structure: “If he got the job… he would have to travel… so he decided…”. All verbs must remain logically consistent in past tense. Option (D) maintains correct verb agreement and tense flow. Other options mix present and past tenses, making them incorrect.
