If _your jobs what would you do?
Correct answer: D. you lost.
- A. You had lost:
- B. you have lost
- C. You loss:
- D. you lost.
Explanation
This is because the sentence is structured as a second conditional, which is used to talk about imaginary or improbable situations in the present or future. In the second conditional, we use the simple past tense in the if-clause and the modal verb "would" + base form of the verb in the main clause. Therefore, "you lost" (simple past tense) fits the structure correctly.
