A test item mixes “If you heat ice, it melts”, “If it rains tomorrow, we will stay inside”, and “If I were you, I would talk to her”. The CORRECT mapping of these forms is?


A

Zero conditional for general cause-effect, first conditional for a likely future condition, and second conditional for a hypothetical stance with would, including the common If I were you pattern.


B

First conditional for general truth, zero conditional for future plans, and second conditional for past events, which is why were points to a completed action in time.


C

Zero conditional for polite advice, first conditional for habits, and second conditional for scientific facts, which makes melts a hypothetical outcome rather than a rule.


D

Second conditional for likely future events, zero conditional for hypothetical advice, and first conditional for general truths, because will marks timeless statements in standard grammar.


E

All three are first conditional variants, and differences come mainly from vocabulary choice, so teachers can treat them as one pattern for exams and reduce grammar categories.
