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.
