If I were you, I _ not trust him so easily.
Correct answer: B. Would
- A. Will
- B. Would
- C. Did
- D. Do
Explanation
The correct answer is 'would' because the sentence is in the second conditional form, used for hypothetical situations. 'If I were you' sets up a hypothetical scenario in the past, requiring the use of 'would' to express the consequence of not trusting him easily. The other options 'will', 'did', and 'do' do not fit the conditional structure or the required tense of the sentence.
