If I were more organized, I _ my deadlines.
Correct answer: A. Would meet
- A. Would meet
- B. Will meet
- C. Meet
- D. Had meet
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'would meet.' When discussing a hypothetical situation in the past, the correct form to use is 'would' followed by the base form of the verb. In this sentence, 'If I were more organized' sets up a hypothetical condition, so the correct verb form is 'would meet.' Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the needed conditional aspect for this sentence.
