Examine this sentence from the article: "Even if effective, these changes will take some time to work through and may not be enough to convince voters that Labour is on their side − particularly if inflation is not brought under control." This sentence contains two conditional structures. The phrase "Even if effective" represents a concessive conditional (acknowledging a possibility while suggesting it may not change the outcome), while "if inflation is not brought under control" is a first conditional (real possibility in the future). Understanding conditional structures is essential for both comprehension and production in English. Which of the following statements correctly analyzes the conditional structures and their functions in academic and journalistic English?

  • A The structure "even if effective" is an elliptical conditional (with "these changes are" implied), while "if inflation is not brought under control" is a complete first conditional clause; both are grammatically correct and commonly used in formal written English.
  • B The first conditional "even if effective" is incorrectly formed and should be "even if it will be effective" to maintain grammatical consistency with the future tense in the main clause.
  • C Both conditional clauses express impossible or hypothetical past situations, requiring the past perfect tense in standard formal English, which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect as written.
  • D The passive voice "is not brought under control" is always grammatically incorrect in conditional clauses and should be replaced with an active construction in all contexts.
