سوال ۵۲ کنکور ارشد مدیریت کسب‌وکار (MBA) ۱۴۰۳

Answer: option 4 — Unless. Unless introduces a negative condition (شرط منفی), meaning except if: the meeting at the theatre will happen except if the other person calls to cancel. The conditional clause uses present call, while the main clause uses I’ll see.

• 1) Then: a sequencing adverb, not the subordinating conjunction needed to connect these clauses. It also fails to express the cancellation condition.
• 2) In that: can introduce an explanation meaning “in the respect that”; it does not mean “except if” and gives no sensible relation here.
• 3) Due to: a prepositional expression meaning “because of”; it takes a noun phrase or -ing form, not the finite clause you call me.
• 4) Unless: supplies both the clause link and the intended exception.

Exam trick: Read unless as except if before checking whether the meaning fits.
