The correct answer is 'has, shall not appreciate.'

Key Points

  • "Unless" means the same as "if...not."
  • "Unless" is followed by a present tense, a past tense, or a past perfect tense (never by a conditional).
  • Therefore, for the first blank, the subject "she" is a singular pronoun, "has" is the correct answer.
  • "Will, would, and shall" are always followed by the base form of the verb.
  • "Unless" is a conditional word, so we don’t use "will or would" in the subordinate clause.
  • So the options "will, would not appreciating", "have, shall not appreciate" and "shall, will not appreciated" are grammatically incorrect and can be ruled out.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
     

Correct sentence: Unless she has done the work to my standards, I shall not appreciate her.
