Answer 1

Answer:

D) If you bother to try to find your lost sweater, you will likely be frustrated.

Explanation:

The subjunctive mood in the English language is used to explore conditional or imaginary situations. The sentence in letter D is obviously conditional because of the first word "if." In addition, it is enhanced by the condition of the possibility of only being "frustrated" should the person find his or her sweater.
