Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is "Option 3" i.e. 'would sleep.'
Key Points
- This is an example of a second conditional sentence (द्वितीयस्य संयोजन वाक्य), which usually speaks about things that are unreal (not necessarily true) or imaginary situations in the present or the future.
- For instance: "If I were a millionaire, I would buy a fancy car."
- The right word 'would sleep' (सो जाएंगे) in this case suggests a hypothetical situation where if the students were tired, they would fall asleep in the bus.
Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 3 "would sleep."
Additional Information
- 'Will sleep' suggests making plans, predictions, or decisions about the future and isn't suitable in this context.
- 'Have slept' is in the present perfect tense that indicates an action that has occurred and completed in the past; it is inappropriate in this situation.
- 'Had slept' refers to past perfect tense and isn't applicable to this sentence.
