Fill in the blank by choosing the correct connector given below :
A student will fail __________ he does not work hard.
Answer: B
The answer is if: A student will fail if he does not work hard.
The sentence states a condition and its result, so it needs a conditional connector. Because the condition is already negative (does not work hard), the connector must be if.
Unless already means 'if not', so unless he does not work hard would make a double negative and say the opposite: he will fail if he works hard. Unless would need a positive verb, unless he works hard. Because states a reason rather than a condition, and until refers to time.
