Answer:

First conditional a) Lea will go to NUST next year if she meets the requirements.

Zero conditional b) If you freeze water, it becomes solid.

Second conditional c) If I get $1 million in my life, I will marry the most beautiful woman in the universe.

Third conditional d) Had I studied this course ten years ago, I would have become a lecturer.

Mixed type conditional e) If I hadn't withdrawn from the gang, I would also be in prison now.

Explanation:

Conditionals are used to express things that we think could happen, had happened, or will happen. There are different types.

The Zero conditionals are universal truths. For example, it is a known fact that freezing water will make it solid.
First conditionals are used to refer to future conditions that we believe are real or possible.
Second conditionals are present or future conditions that are impossible or unlikely.
The third conditionals are possible conditions in the past and their probable results.
Mixed type conditionals are used to correlate a situation in the past and results that exist in the present.
