Help the eccentric inventor complete the safety protocols for his new time machine by choosing the correct conditional conjunctions for each blank.
The university board has agreed to fund our temporal displacement device, provided that we strictly limit our initial tests to inanimate objects.
We must formulate a flawless contingency plan right now, supposing a confused velociraptor accidentally follows you back to the lab.
The core reactor will automatically initiate an emergency shutdown, unless you remember to recalibrate the cooling valves every three hours.
The correct answers are:
The university board has agreed to fund our temporal displacement device, provided that we strictly limit our initial tests to inanimate objects.
Provided that establishes a strict condition for a positive outcome (they will fund it only if we limit the tests). "Unless" would reverse the logic, and "supposing" creates a hypothetical question rather than a firm agreement.
We must formulate a flawless contingency plan right now, supposing a confused velociraptor accidentally follows you back to the lab.
Supposing is used to invite someone to imagine a hypothetical situation (meaning "what if").
The core reactor will automatically initiate an emergency shutdown, unless you remember to recalibrate the cooling valves every three hours.
Unless introduces a negative condition, meaning "if you do not." The reactor shuts down if you do not recalibrate the valves.
