Answer: D. If Rebecca won the lottery, she could pay her tuition easily.
Explanation:
- Conditional sentences are used when talking about hypothetical situations and their consequences.
- A conditional sentence contains a conditional clause (if-clause) and the main clause (consequence).
- There are four types of conditional sentences in the English language: zero, first, second and third conditional.
- The sentence 'If Rebecca won the lottery, she could pay her tuition easily' is a conditional type 2. Second conditional sentences contain past simple tense in the if clause and auxiliary modal verb (could, would, should, might) in the main clause. We use second conditional for actions/events that are not likely to happen in future.
The correct answer should be letter B or C.

One way to rewrite this paragraph without figures of speech and idioms would be:
"We had the greatest vacation ever! We went to a beautiful beach. The sand was extremely white. We lay in the shade of the blowing palm trees all afternoon, watching the butterflies and birds. In the evening, the ocean was incredibly clear. We could look right down into the water and see coral reefs and bright fish. When I told my friends about it, they were all very jealous! They all said they wished they could have gone!"
